First used a computer in school
When I was in fourth grade my school created a computer lab in one of the classrooms. I remember there was one or two Apple computers with the larger floppy discs and IBMs. It was a big deal when my teacher would take us into the computer lab to do some activity. http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/pc/h/ps2.jpg -
World Wide Web takes off.
I remember being in middle school the first time I used the internet and how long it would take to load. Things have definitely changed in terms of speed. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/tech/ -
