Time Waits For Nobody

The BBC News website is celebrating it’s 10th birthday, which made me think – it’s ten years since I first went online too.

I can remember that first time really clearly. I had been taken into the local university’s IT centre to see this thing called ‘the internet’ that everyone was talking about. I was logged in and … actually it wasn’t quite as exciting as I was expecting. But I discovered a thing called a ’search engine’ and did my first search for (you guessed it) Doctor Who! Even then there was a huge amount of stuff about it on the internet. Some things don’t change in ten years!
