Looking back to 1996, when I stepped into the school gates with my backpacks, I probably didn’t realize I was standing at the most dramatic turning point in the information age. Those four years of university life were not only the end of my youth, but also a “Cambrian explosion” of computer technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Year (1996-1997): DOS and Floppy Disk Memories at Your Fingertips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back then, you had to change into slippers before entering the computer lab. Our “Computer Culture Fundamentals” class was held on bulky 386 and 486 monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Command Line Era: There were no fancy icons, only a flashing C:\\> prompt on the screen. We practiced dir, cd, and format repeatedly, clumsily typing on the black screen with white text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kingsoft WPS and Wubi Input Method: Word wasn’t popular then, and the blue-text-on-white WPS was the standard for typing classes. To memorize the phrase “\u738b\u65c1\u9752\u5934\u620b\u4e94\u4e00” (a phrase from a Chinese poem), countless students practiced their finger placement on printed keyboards after class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fragility of floppy disks: 5-inch disks were nearing obsolescence; 3.5-inch floppy disks (1.44MB) were our entire possessions. The biggest fear before submitting assignments was “disk failure,” requiring careful manipulation of the metal contacts on the handles – the crispest physical sound of that era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophomore Year (1997-1998): The shockwave of Windows 95<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around this time, the computer lab’s system quietly switched to Windows 95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mouse revolution: We finally learned to “double-click” and grew accustomed to the “Start” menu in the lower left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The emergence of multimedia: “Popular Software” magazine began circulating in the computer lab, and everyone discussed CD drives and sound cards. Anyone who owned a CD-ROM capable of playing sound and video was the talk of the dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Junior Year (1998-1999): Believers in the Internet and OICQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 1998, internet cafes outside the campus sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Back then, going online wasn’t called “going online,” it was called “surfing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mournful cry of the 56K modem: Accompanied by a dial tone like radio interference, we officially connected to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First encounter with OICQ: In early 1999, a little penguin wearing a scarf appeared. At that time, OICQ (the predecessor of QQ) numbers were still five or six digits; adding friends was entirely a matter of chance, and the sound of typing became the main melody of internet cafes late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First email: Registering an email address on 263 or 163 was a highly ritualistic event, even though there weren’t actually many people in the address book who could write to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Year (1999-2000): The Y2K Bug, the “walled city” in the education network, and the Ivy League<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the millennium arrived, rumors of the “Y2K bug” were rampant. Our campus life had already been completely reshaped by the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an era when dial-up internet was charged by the minute and public networks were as slow as snails, the campus education network (CERNET) was like a paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world within the “Ivy League”: Back then, Baidu didn’t exist, and Google was just starting out overseas. To search for information, find papers, or even access other universities’ BBS forums, the most frequently accessed page was Tsinghua University’s “Ivy League” search engine. It only crawled within the education network, offering incredibly fast speeds – a “pure search” era for China’s first generation of internet users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FTP and “Ants”: To download a few MB of MP3 or short video, we had to log into the school’s FTP server or use “NetAnts” to resume downloads. Copying resources between campuses within the education network was the most tacit form of “resource sharing” in that era of scarce bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From submitting assignments on floppy disks in 1996 to submitting resumes online in graduation gowns in 2000, these four years saw us use the most primitive keyboards to knock on the door of the information age. Today we are used to the cloud, AI and 5G, but occasionally when we close our eyes, we can still hear the roar of the 486 case fan, which is the background music that started our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
