Facebook didn't even exist when I was in college. Back then, the Web was in its infancy. I had a web site before IBM did. My sorority chapter had a web site before IBM did (because I wrote it). I got to the Web ahead of a megacorp.

Between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I had a summer internship where I had to wear business-formal attire every day. (This is murder in summer in NYC.) One morning, I got onto an LIRR train where there were no available seats, and a young man in jeans and a T-shirt gave up his seat to me. I was 18 years old, and he probably was, too. It made me feel old, even though I wasn't even old enough to drink. It also made me hold out some hope for our generation, that in certain circles, chivalry still exists.
