Jil Davis is a 74-year-old mother to three. She first got her first personal computer in the early 1990s when she was 40 years old. At this time she had two children. With two children and being one of the first houses with a personal computer, the Davis house became the house to go to. But Davis' life hadn't always been that way. 

Before getting a personal computer at home, Davis had learned how to punch keys into a mainframe. A mainframe is a large computer with millions of bits of memory used for large businesses or large computer memory/functions. 4 Davis also had to work using a typewriter, which was much harder (especially when mistakes were made) than the personal computer. Today Davis uses the internet for mostly social interactions, like emails, she also uses AI throughout her day-to-day life (Interview of Jill Davis). 

Kristi Rhine is a 49-year-old mother to three children. She used her first computer in a lab at the college she attended in 1993. She is now a high school teacher who uses the internet daily in her classes. She has been teaching for about 25 years and says the internet has never been more vital to her role as an educator. It also plays a huge role in her personal life through shopping, navigation, and streaming. 

The first time she used the internet she remembered it being AOL and hearing the dial-up tone. She explained it was something she would never forget. As she grew older, she realized the internet was not going away and was becoming the new reality. She remembers making her first Facebook account in 2008; since then, it has been her new normal.

Jerry is the father of McClairin Garmon. He is 60 years old and from Gainesville, GA. He went to High School at North Hall and stopped his education there. He is a retired Truck driver from ABF Freight Company. He got his first home computer for his wife to finish her masters degree in 1997. He recalls the boxy look and slow dial up speeds but, admits that he was imprssed by the infomration that was now avalible at his fingertips. He espcially recalls using the internet then to look at the stock market, and  though the sites were much more basic and read only at that time he loved the ease by comparison to looking for stock info in the newspaper.  He claims that back then and even  today he is not tech savy but, he admits that the internet has made his life so much easier. He is not a big fan of TV and today much prefers to scroll through Facebook Marketplace in hopes of growing his vintage Disney, Coke, and Bubblegum machine collection. Jerry offers a unique perspective to history as he was unsure of what the internet was going to become but he fully embraced it, especially in his work life via pagers to cell phone, and spare time. His lack of "techie" knowledge further offers an intresting take on the internet and shows how user friendly and oriented Web 1.0 was. When I texted to ask him about the early intenet interview, he responded, "...It was great. If I could use it anyone with a brain could."
