Getting to know the Internet

In the distant 90s, even when the mail was UUPC and 14400 modems, Dad said that we now have the Internet at home. I was still a child then, and it was incomprehensible to me how it is possible to "see the whole world."

At first they didn’t let me on the Internet, spoke very dearly, and I was somehow uninteresting (and the age was not yet the same).

A few years later I first saw the "site". This site I first saw was yahoo. I still remember his first design, the standard blue colors of the linos, nothing complicated. Somewhere at the same time, I registered my first mailbox - on hotmail.

Through “yahoo for kids” I found a girl from America, with whom I corresponded for several years.
Then it was time for the first personal page. It was made in ms word, consisted of 2-3 pages, with the proud inscription "My Homepage".

After that I heard the word HTML, and it became incredibly interesting to me how to use this HTML to make a website. My first attempts to process data from forms using only input tags did not lead to anything, and with the help of a huge thick HTML book I learned about the existence of a monster like Perl. My first Perl script just sent mail.

It became interesting to me how it all works, I wonder how to do it, what can be obtained from it.
Today, I am grateful to my father for teaching me the Internet, English, and everything that helps me to achieve my goals.

This is my story of acquaintance with the Internet.

What is your first web site?
