I was trying to think through this and I think I had the internet for a few years before I even used the web. A friend gave me installs for mIRC and ICQ and I had AOL messanger from somewhere maybe AOL.com, but wow its a weird thought. I mostly used it to talk on mIRC/ICQ and play games peer to peer until Ultima Online came out. Interesting thought experiement for young me.

By the answers I noticing a pattern.. the more was strange and based on software/tech interactions the more those people ended up being very skilled with computers or coding in general.
Then there's the one like me who Iike to try, touch with the tip of fingerprint, and move on something else more.. 😅🥲
I was lucky my dad was in IT, I got to play with computers since DOS when I was about 7 or 8. He actually didn't know much about computers because he was in management by then but he knew they were important enough to let me play with them.
