My first time surfing the net

The first time I surfered by internet was when the chats became famous, 5 years ago more or less.
It was marvellous for me as I could chat with people from other countries and share opinions and hobbies on websites as Terra or Msn . I made loyal friends and I have had the chance to meet someone later.
Later I discovered that I was able to buy or sell my own things by e-bay on a easy way , so when I had enough money I bought a Nokia mobile very cheap. It was a really bargain !! and I sold my mp3 expensiver than it really was , hehe ...
Internet has become a very useful tool in our lifes to make homeworks to read the newspaper or to look for curiosities.
Could we live without it ?
