I first learned to use the internet from my father. It must have been around the year 2006-2007. I first used the internet on my father's official computer while sitting in my father's office. I remember very well that day was the day of a function in my father's office. But I didn't have any playmates. My father was downloading some songs for his office function. So I was sitting next to him because at that time it took a lot of time to download a song because it was 2G internet, basically I was playing games on that computer. While downloading songs, I learned how to download from my father. At that time, while searching for something, I used the (+) sign in it 😅😅, like when writing the name of a song, I used to put a + sign in each word 😁😄. I didn't know the correct method, so I did this. Later, of course, it worked out. After that, I started downloading my favorite Hindi songs. Later, I transferred them to a memory card reader in my mother's phone.
Why do I remember this? Because after that day I would write down the names of the songs that I listened to on TV at home and the ones that I liked, and then go to my father's office on holidays and download them. This took about 3-4 years. I downloaded many songs and even i helped to others download them.
I also started using the internet properly around 2012 when my first computer was bought at home. Why did it have a modem? My father used it mainly. I only played games. And in August 2014, I started Facebook for the first time. A friend of mine did that. But it was not used that way because there was only one computer at home and I was not allowed to use the internet from time to time. At that time, the price of 1 GB internet in our country was around 400 taka. So, the internet could not be used without special need. When my father was working, I would download 5-10 songs in between.
Those times were quite good. I have been thinking about writing this post since evening. When my father was around, I was talking about the internet of that time. If I look for the modem, I can get it at my house. Now the internet is within everyone's reach. Now children no longer have to be taught how to use the internet. So they don't have a beautiful story like ours about using the internet....So this was my first experience of using the internet in my life.
2G? I wonder how long many hours it took for you to download just a song and how much data was used.
Yes. This is surprising. Even though our country has a 4G network system, we still don't get good 3G network everywhere in our country.
Lol I am just taken back to when I'll spend hours downloading one app or an image because of how slow network was then.
Cool you learnt using the internet from your dad.
This is wonderful. You got to use the internet for the first time in a computer system. Those days during my time, computers were not common as well
