During the Start of the Internet Revolution

I remember my first real burst of pure excitement; It was back in 1994(?) and I was in my apartment in Manila (near ADMU). I was an Industrial Engineering Student in UP Diliman, and we were taking a project feasibility study course. It was our instructor's preference that we search new territory and focus on a product that we could build or market from scratch. 

The Internet was virgin territory back then. I hardly had any internet connection. All we knew was that it was like an incoming Gold Rush - a computer software that controlled a communications device (modem) which could sift thru information from many many networked computers, globally, instantly. Only very few Universities had this capability, and I had friends who had access  to some of the very first web browsers in the country.

I wanted to focus on using the Internet to market products globally, at the flick of a switch. LUCKILY, I never did continue with it. First of, I had never seen a browser ever. Further, Internet Usage was very dismal ( you had to be LITERALLY in either UP or Ateneo or La Salle to access it).

Our Group changed our Thesis into something more modest (Agri-based). 

But life revolved around the Internet from then on; by 1997, I had a modem. I surfed the wild and wooly web. And life has never been the same again.
