1974 My School was the first to be connected by the internet by an IBM computer to a Polytechnic now a University...lol
We had to use cards with holes in them and reels of paper tape with holes in which used Binary code to communicate...

I remember getting a huge old PC the hard drive was bigger than a tower and weighed a ton you could sit the monitor on it without worrying if you were going to damage it 
First thing I remember seeing online was Ebay cos hubby thought it would be good for flogging the stuff the kids had outgrown - little did he know I would end up spending more than I ever made on it
