When I was 12 in 1994 I typed my friend's phone number into the dial up peer-to-peer option Doom offered and played a game online for the first time. This definitely stuck with me as one of those "this is going to change things" moments

In high school, we wasted time in the computer lab playing Doom. We didn't know what a "null modem cable" was, but a bunch of us had one and knew we needed one to play multiplayer Doom.
