| Chat Rooms
Did anyone else used to LOVE these things when they were younger? I remember when I was 13 or 14 and my parents first got us the internet (AOL), I was so excited to spend hours upon hours in chat rooms. I used to stay up late chatting with people from different parts of the country, and even in other countries.
However, that was back in the days of the phone modem, and it cost money per minute to be online. Plus, we were dialing long distance to connect to AOL because there were no local numbers. So needless to say, after my dad got the first phone bill of a few hundred bucks, he put a tight leash on my brother and I.
Ah, the good ol days. Were you a chatroom-aholic as well? |
