Make that 2005, I was 13 in 2000 and back then I never heard of 'social' websites like myspace or facebook before, if it already existed, it wasn't very popular at the time. It was the time of msn chatting I guess, though i never used IMs much (didn't have much ppl to talk to) I made a profile once just because a lot of managers that look at applicants to hire search your name and try to know more about you, so if you write some decent crap on it, it's an advantage too ^^ I believe we just got dsl speed in 2000 too, before that it was a 28.8 or 14.4kbps modem connection... to search on altavista and download free mp3s of course, why else would you use the internet back then Wifi doesn't harm anyone, there has been radio and tv broadcast signals for a lot longer time, which is essentially the same waves. Cellphones may cause harm because the waves are concentrated because you hold your phone to the side of your head (e.g i get a headache after 20min on my cellphone). The broadcast signals are well below the margin of 1w which is the legal limit. Not to forget, cosmetic rays bombard you all the time. If you fly with a plane you'd be more exposed to the amount of radiation than a long time of wifi. (I wonder what protection astronauts use in the ISS, they get the full exposure as the atmosphere blocks % of total radiation)
