I was born in 1984.

In elementary school, there was one computer in the library where you could visit an online encyclopedia. By the time I finished we had dialup at home (56 kbps).

In high school they had to block Napster on the school computers because we were all pirates. I got high speed (1 Mbps) at home around grade 11.
