Growing Up DayGlo would be more interesting.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 01.22.2008, 09:41 PM

I am into the cyberbullying and it is good so far.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 01.22.2008, 10:11 PM

What's the point of growing up online, isn't the internet so we can bully, be a whiny bitch, and be generally immature all day?

The internet really didn't affect my childhood too much. When I was a teen I thought the internet was for 2 things: masturbating and playing online games and occasionally looking up stuff to prove a point.

Oh wait, I broke up with my first gf over AIM.

pbradley · 01.22.2008, 10:52 PM

I didn't start using the internet a lot until college. So I really don't consider it all apart of my upbringing.

✌➬ · 01.22.2008, 10:54 PM

I started to use the internet by early high school.

Cantankerous · 01.22.2008, 10:56 PM

when i was a small child the internet was invented but we were too broke ass for that. i didn't learn how to use the damn internet until i was like 9 when we got to use it at school. really wouldn't have made a bit of difference to me although it's nice to have around now for entertainment purposes and looking shit up.

i wouldn't know about growing up online, since the internet, cell phones, compact discs and video game consoles hadn't been invented yet when i was growing up. and though they had been invented my family didn't have cable television or a microwave oven... we got our first color tv when i was in 2nd grade when we got our first videodisc player (no not laserdisc, actual vinyl platter with a movie on it...) i bought my first album on vinyl, not because it was hip and retro, but because it seemed like a better option than 8-track cassette. all through high school i typed papers on an electric typewriter.

...on the other hand used to play space invaders on my uncle's IBM5150

and i learned basic on an apple IIe in elementary school

in high school i used to get on telnet and bbs's on my friend's mac classic

in college i had a 14.4k modem before the World Wide Web was invented... what did i use a modem for before the www, you ask? wasting time just like now, only without pictures:

you could also download pictures from usenet newsgroups like alt.sex.pictures you just couldn't view them in a "web browser" beforehand.

Im so glad we didnt have t'internet until i was 17.

█████████ · 01.23.2008, 09:11 AM

that was stupid.

a child commits suicide and there's no investigation?
the father does the investigation by himself, founds who incited his child to commit suicide and does nothing?

afterthefact · 01.23.2008, 09:59 AM

I think as long as it's used for good purposes, the internet is GREAT for children. Especially those who live in areas where there is little to do with music and the arts. They can learn so much for the net, and as responsible parents you just have to make sure they are doing this, and not making plans to meet strangers at the mall.
