My mind can’t even comprehend this internet world you speak of,😆 you might as well have said that you own a unicorn. 🤷🏼♀️😂 My earliest “internet” experience was w/ dial up internet in high school. I would instant message w/ my long distance boyfriend for hours and tie up the house landline in the process b/c we only had one line and no call waiting. Good times. 😂 I somehow even managed to escape internet use through the majority of my long college career. By the time I actually started utilizing the internet and getting on social media, the Wild West days of the internet were long gone.
AOL at $9.95 an hour.
Try Compuserve and Prodigy.
We used to bomb out the AOL PBX systems and offline entire regions for lulz.
I was w the kids growing up reading 2600 & making off with friends parents AT&T books. We had Red / Black / Blue books that allowed us to do pretty much all sorts of things.
Usenet back then was an amazing thing. Between Usenet and IRC I had everything I wanted.
All these years later? Still on Usenet and IRC.
Damn I would have loved to be one of your friends.
My circle of friends consist of people following what I was doing but they didn't know any better on computer terminology. They just did what I told them to do but I wasn't keen enough to go beyond going on IRC or AOL chat rooms back then.
Later on in life, I learned about 2600, Kevin Mitnick, Cap'n Crunch whistle and many more. Guess I wasn't as adventurous as you guys were back then.
Honestly it was a pretty - aware thing on our end. We had this sense that we could get ahead of even a lot of security “experts” since everything was in its infancy. Legit a lot of it spawned from our schools having local token ring networks so we figured out ways to mess with each other in class - grew from there. At least as far as network hacking. To be fair back then IRC was amazingly entertaining and we programmed bots left and right to manage our rooms and file serving. Hell I still maintain an IRC BOT named iGor that will do random funny shit like call anyone that mentions a color racist.
We kinda did everything. We met a lot of other kids on IRC and friended them in real life. I still remember my first FBI agent in there. First door knocks. FBI agent told me like 90% of the kids they talked to had ADD / ADHD 😅 “they say you kids Don’t pay attention - it’s bullshit - you just pay attention to everything at the same time and people can’t keep up. How the hell you gona hack this PBX and still do your homework and play baseball?”
Yeah, I always saw it as a nickel a minute. I quickly realized that I didn’t really use any AOL features and found a flat rate local Internet company. Got that second phone line and the rest is history.
