What was your teenage MSN/chatroom username

[OohKittens]

Thinking back to when I first used the internet in the times of a/s/l on msn and lycos chat I was 14 and mine was lennonlover

* [Title edited by MNHQ for clarity] * **

I didn’t have an email address in my teens. Think I was about 22/23? And it’s the same one I use now. Just my name and surname abbreviated.

It didn't exist. .although in my 30's we used love@lycos. (For a joke)

Didn't have one either., first one I got was given to me from the university I was in.

About the same time I had a lecture on what a computer waa and to explain the Internet. (While i did know what a computer was at the time and that part amused me and others, I had never used or heard of the Internet.)

I still use mine as it's a contraction of my name.

A friend of mine’s was grooveycool@.....

A couple of years ago a new woman started at my work and she hadn’t been given a work email yet but had been deleted from her old work email so she gave me her personal one for the meantime. Her name is Katie and it was waaaaazzzzzuppp_kt@....

(Some specific details changed for privacy but the general gist the same)

black hearted queen

I was so emo

I had so many, silly stupid ones at about 12-14.

It's funny looking back at them now .

Early-eighties. No internet/email.

Only boys could do computer studies at my school, too.

Same here. Mine was an all girls school - we had 1 computer! We did learn how to do some sort o code so that it would draw a picture of a strawberry though. That has been really useful! No email at uni either.

I had my first personal one at the age of about 30 I think.

Not very original.

Late 60's / 70's - a what now?

The first computer I saw was at university. It was a building. Literally. Opposite the library. Three stories high. A bit difficult to tuck on your handbag.

LMFAO

As a teenager my school had one computer, a Commodore Pet, It was only used by Computer Studies staff and students, so that was a total of 17 people.

The internet wasn't invented when I was in my teens or even my 20's. The first computer I saw was in a building at the polytechnic and took up a whole room!

Even when I was in my 30's it was a rare occurrence to have home computers, only a handful of people I knew had access to one.

My lovely niece finally sorted my first address out when she got to 13 as she was horrified I didn't use Face book. I was 43 at that time, and yes I still the same address as it's just my name and very boring.

Mine was [email protected]

Me and my friends all had email addresses like
Groovygirl817394
Sexxxyangel0495
PrincessSarah99
PrettiestPrincess0285720
PinkIsTheBestColour101

We all had loads of numbers on the end of ours?!

Lol. We had one computer in school and I never went near the 'Computer Room'. I think my first email address was in about 1998 and was very sensible initials/[email protected]

I will never know the cringe of a teenage email address.

There was no such thing. I didn't see the internet until I was at university, and then it was only as part of a tutor's demonstration in an IT module.

Today's youth will never know the times when you could use your landline phone or the computer but not both. Or that screechy dial up connection noise.

The first one I remember using was my dad’s and was something like [email protected] (mid 90s)

Then I think I had a university one
Then a work one
Then the one I have now

No such thing as email addresses in my teens. My first one, in my twenties, was [email protected]. Not an unusual name either, just the early days of these things. My current email address is still .com because it predates .co.uk.

Some of my friends had access to CB radio they had 'handles', it all seemed very exciting.I imagine they were talking to truck drivers.

Personal computers and electronic communication were the stuff of science fiction when I was in my teens!

I had my first email address when I was 40 and it was simply my first name and surname.

Oh my god cringe

where * are my three initials:

*1

strictly speaking it was *[email protected] but it wasn't till I was near the end of my first year (and almost out of my teens) that I discovered this.
