In far 1998 I could not imagine whom and what I will do in ten or twenty years. There weren't many opportunities in my hometown in those years. I got my first computer in 1999. Before I got it, I completed some special computer courses because my father wanted me to learn about new technologies first. When my classmates found out that I had a computer, they couldn't believe it.
When I went to my first computer lab at university in 2001, many of my classmates didn't even know how to use a mouse. I think you're smiling while reading these words. But yes, that was the reality back then. A couple of other students and I taught the others how to double-click and how to use a keyboard and mouse.
This is my first USB flash drive. My father gave it to me in 2003. It's still with me. Before 2003, I used floppy disks. I still remember the sound of the floppy disk drive.
