Thanks for this Akira! Agreed, using the World Wide Web for the first time (I believe I was introduced by a college friend a physics major and lovable tech-nerd) by way of a news group was a very "wow" moment. I suppose this was a very early precursor to discussion groups, bulletin boards and blogs. What are the "wow' moments for the students you work with?

I think the most useful thing that I did in the beginning (mid to late 80s) was to use PINE, a unix commnad line email program and also read usenet news groups. This was when the world wide web was only text based and strickly non-commercial ! My how things have changed. These two things really made me think WOW this is revolutionary stuff !

A recent CNN article (link below) begins, "Like a first love or a first car, a first computer can hold a special place in people's hearts. For millions of kids who grew up in the 1980s, that first computer was the Commodore 64. Twenty-five years later, that first brush with computer addiction is as strong as ever." For you, what was that first piece of hardware, software, or internet application that captured your imagination and brought you in to the technophile/techie fold? When working with your students is there something that is sure to get them hooked and motivated to explore using new technologies? I was a Commodore 64 owner myself. It was mostly used for playing Pong, but it was fun and was a gateway.
