Much similar to mine story..just that I used to browse internet through those fix username and passwords..the one where you can use fix bandwidth for each u/n and pwd.
Then I got dialup connection which used to be called Netone by BSNL.
Man so slow it was I used to browse net with speed of 56kbps (bits per second not bytes ).
Just think about this speed in today’s 4G times. I am sure most of you would get goosebumps.
Of course first use of internet was email. IMO internet=email during that times.
My first email id was…no prizes for guessing.. Yahoo..I still remember I had downloaded 28 MBs of Yahoo messenger (Does anyone remember Yahoo messenger?) I was so happy in downloading 28 MBs… . Oh man such were the times..Yahoo was rolling at that time. Google was still developing.
We used to browse net for business purposes. My father created email id for biz and then all in my family created IDs for personal purposes. Messenger mostly to talk with relatives abroad to save those exorbitant ISD charges .
I was a star in school during those days. Hardly anyone had heard of internet let alone using them. They usually used to ask what does Yahoo get in creating this email ids. wish they could know about big data then. By god’s grace we had a PC with a working net connection (talking about years 1995-2000), mainly because my father had a genuine interest in technology.

Where is @Magus
1st time used in 2001; in school; with no internet.
There was a subject for computer education for class 5 and above, and the teachers just let us do anything on it; be it paint, music, Encarta, Britannica for our other subject assignments.
I thought that Encarta was a thing installed on all computers, so one weekend i asked my father that i want to go to internet cafe and read some things on Encarta for a project;
when i went there and mentioned what i wanted to do to the internet cafe owner, he just laughed and told me that Encarta that was in my school is a licensed software thing and he doesn’t have that, he then showed that you can browse on yahoo and get your answers.
I was a bit confused as to what all he is saying, so just played pinball and minesweeper for a while, and returned back.
I typed Hello World
Prawn
Food for thought 😂
Bhai mein likhunga to bache bura maan jayenge and girls sharma jaayengi.. Tab se aab tak wahi search kar kar raha hun..
Spider Man
During my school days (2010), one of my friends came to my home for Study, fortunately he had a new brand Nokia mobile with internet connection.
I asked him “what do you do with internet?” And he replied that “you can download songs, search Avatar of celebrities or simply type anything, Google will definitely show you something”. Bcoz at the age of 15, internet only meant for songs and images.
he always search the images of actress. Well, I wanted to do the same, but I couldn’t. Bcoz I was at my home with my parent watching our conversation. Then I typed the spider Man and had been watching the poster for more than a minute.Funny story: First time I accessed internet, it was from a cafe. In the browser, they had a number of short-cuts to various services, including e-mail. I signed-up with a shiny new address ending with @usa.net.
Next time i visited a different cafe. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the homepage, so couldn’t go to the site. Got a little adventurous and open www.u...et to try getting into my inbox. No luck.
Finally after some days came to know that netaddress.com hosted and maintained by usa.net use to provide interface for mail login.
Jawahar Lal Nehru,
For my school projects..
you dont even need to ask " free * videos" lol
Mainly naughty searches was the first reason..
Was trying to make an email id first in cyber cafe but didn’t sucess when i was 3rd or 4th std
After few month my mom gave me computer and then after 2 years in 6std i got tata photon plus
I don’t remember must as it was about 20+ years ago
We had a shell account at that time .. I think year 1996 and use to search for “hot images” without even seeing them.
Old use will understand what I am saying
When i first browsed internet, there was a DSL connection with inbuilt modem into the computer itself. and meanwhile internet is connected the landline have to be dead. there was used to be Sify login and password which have to be purchased and have to be redeemed after connecting to the phone line to access the internet which includes time and data limit. Yahoo was there first website i opened personally.

cartoonnetworkindia.com for Dexter Laboratory and its games
I did not remember what was the first exact search term.
I started with airtel gprs 250 / month . first time I had come to know day internet can be used through mobile.
Browsed all those portals services . Charging 50 rs / java game and 10 rs for model wallpapers .
It was taking time to load Google itself on computer . so i used to do lots of browsing on mobile . Sony Ericsson camera handset 8 000 rupees. no Orkut . I used to browse hungma chat and troll people by duplicating Thier IDs.
Out of curiousity downloaded all those paid games .No wallpaper . then i came to know senfan.ru a russian site giving these games for free .
First Google search were very decent . like " India " " my name " “songs” “games” “movies”. “entrance examination.”,“winamp”,“wallpaper” etc etc
After 1-2 days I had come to cover the main topics
" xxx" “s*x” “n*d*” “free software” “video” …. I had no idea there was popular terms like " P*rn" or "t*rre*t .
With that speed watching any video was out of questions.All my evil works was performed on my Ericsson only . fav. was mob*kam*.com
#honest
There was craze of yahoo / rediff email ids, people used to take help of those who knew it
While selecting password user would expect them to move eyes here & there, so that user can choose password of their choice
so after selecting secretively user will have feeling of ecstasy
So after that user would feel relieved
But after form filling, on last page the page used to display all login & password details
A lot changed now
Those old slow days
