The most enduring relationship of love and satisfaction I've had in recent years has been that with the Internet.
Our history is studded with wonderful moments and romantic. The first time I sailed, for example, was the feast of the Unit of Modena, in 1996, in a semi-deserted station set up in the middle of a field. I had a booklet on his knees on the WWW came attached with the Republic, and tried to figure out what a particular search engine and search for exactly what I needed. That night I used Altavista: I shudder at the very thought.
Then, the University There he made available a small laboratory, where we could make our trials and our research in complete privacy. By myself I learned to use explorer and email, while someone taught me that there were also Netscape and Eudora (I am the Mago) and that the Internet could be a place with many facets.
In 1999, the turning point coming in my first year out of the course, instead of rushing to the thesis I decided to add another exam and attended a series of lessons to learn how to make websites.
Websites I never learned to make them seriously, on the other hand that course made me become a neat freak and he gave me the tools to harass all computer technicians with whom I worked later.
Since then, the Internet has been my companion, my friend and ally: the first time I earned bucks for sounding compared to the fifties, but that we do not understand one iota who ran businesses, I was a guru, then I allowed to communicate with my friends who live in quintillion miles from me, making me feel less lonely and isolated, and finally allowed me to learn things that I did not know, for the most part, perhaps, useless things, but that did not know .
With time and disuse, I forgot most of the things he learned one day: for this, who could x-ray my thoughts today would be abandoned and nebulous concepts such as FTP, CGI-BIN, data packet, client-server and away you go. However, whenever I needed to change the template of a blog or page of a site after three or four attempts I've always done: they are rewarding.
