Write about your first computer.
It was in 2000, whilst I was living and working in Saudi Arabia that I found myself buying a copy of The Internet for Dummies. It didn’t help. Just washed over me completely. Starting with the theory was not a good move.
Earlier during the late 90’s( in the UK) I became aware that some of my office-bound pals were using email.
But it wasn’t until 2001 when I was in India that a real live princess ( I kid you not) taught me how to use a computer. The only thing I remember about it was that it was dial-up. It was pretty tricky when the electric supply went off and came on at will.
The one day that will stay in my mind forever is when the horrific events of September 11th unfolded. Everyone else was watching it on TV. But I just sat there in front of the screen in disbelief, immobilised.
IN THE BOOMER PIGEON HOLE? 
The even was indeed horrific and left too many scars …😕

Yes. I was sat in a bar In Southern Spain, another ex-pat called American Jean (from the US) collapsed with shock. We took her back to her apartment where she died. It seemed so unreal.
But back to flashing lights on boxes….I had the first internet ADSL as it was called, in the Spanish Village where I lived. People used to come round for a “show” in the evening. They’d bring a bottle of something round and we’d watch silly video clips!
