The way life used to be before technology

    My, how the internet has changed!  I remember when I got my first computer.  I was 16 years old and it cost my mother $2500 dollars to bring home a computer that was weaker than my cell phone is now.  But, there was one cool thing that came with it, AOL!  Back then AOL would send you a cd in the mail about once a month to get you to try their AMAZING new product.  You were able to talk to people all over the world in things called "Chatrooms" at the speed of light.(OR AT THE SPEED OF DIAL UP).  Well, I was instantly hooked.  I spent everyday after school talking to HOT CHICKS all over the united states.  With every new upgrade cd that AOL sent me, I was able to upgrade my game.  What?  I can now send pictures through my computer? This is amazing!  So, I sent mom to get a scanner, and I went to eckerd drug to get some film developed. LOL.  (No digital cameras back then).  Anyway, it wasn't long until I set my eyes on my first long distance relationship.  A young girl from Pittsburgh that had a face like an Angel.
     We spent hours each night talking about nothing.  I would send her lists of CD's that I had so she could go get them at CAMELOT MUSIC, and she would send me lists of movies I should go out and get on VHS.  We really didn't like any of the same music or movies, but we did share one common bond.....We were AOL nerds.  We were early adapters to a new type of technology and we loved it.  Well, after a month or so of typing to each other, we talked on the phone.  I thought that her voice was amazing!  From that moment on, I knew that I was going to take a trip to see her in a few weeks when school let out.  And three weeks later, that is exactly what I did.
    The day of the trip, there was electricity in the air.  I can only imagine that this is what Dorothy felt like when she went to see the wizard.  I had my first long solo road trip (the yellow brick road) and I was on my way to see the hot girl from Pittsburgh (THE WIZARD).  Anyway, the road trip wasn't what I had expected.  The road was long and boring, and not to mention the scenery was ugly, but I still had the wizard to look forward to, and that is when I saw it "PITTSBURGH,NEXT 5 EXITS!"  I weaved in and out of traffic and was at the house in no time.  I walked up to the door, smelled my breath and rang the doorbell.  This was going to be the best weekend of my life.  I saw the door turn and the door seemed to take forever to open.  As the door opened I saw her face.  WHO THE HELL WAS THIS?  She wasn't the girl that I saw on the internet!  I tried to be polite, but I am sure that she could see the look of dissapointment on my face.  She said, "come on in, I want you to meet my parents!"  I was thinking,"While your at it, can you introduce me to the girl that was on AOL as well?"  Needless to say it was a long weekend.  The drive home was longer than the drive there and I vowed never to return to Pittsburgh again.  The moral of the story is this.  If you would have had a webcam back then, this kind of thing would have never happened.  Skype is amazing!  You can be SURE of what you are dealing with before you drive 400 miles to be decieved.
