For me it was at school in 1998, we were lucky enough to have 3 brand new computer labs at school. It was the first time I had propperly uses a modern windows operating system Windows NT. My home PC still had windows 3.11 at that point cos we had never botherd to upgrade it as I didn’t use ot to play games anymore, just use it for word processing really. I remember looking at ebsites like the hamster dance and pikachumustdie.com (was a little flash game can now be found here Pikachu Must Die | Owen’s World. The schools default search page was altavista and shortly after that it was lycos. Lycos was good for one reason, you coul send SMS text messages for free from it.

OK, if the question is “internet” and not “World Wide Web” then my first experience was being a YTS trainee at a small industrial unit. They had a batch of modems to test for an installation, so I had to dial into (literally dial with an old rotary phone) the Maplin BBS service, just to check the things were working. Got my first PC experience at the same time. Summer of 1984.
Multimedia it was not. Just 40 columns of text across an Apple II screen. 😐
If you mean the Web, then I was actually pretty late, about 1999. Friend had a PC set up on dial up. After having played with Hyperlink software years earlier it was cool and reassuring nice to see the idea actually working online. 🙂
Bloody hell, the first time I used t’internets must have been about 1998 give or take. I remember watching the world cup, thinly it was Germany vs someone….
