First Day on the Internet Kid features a young boy in a striped polo shirt smiling enthusiastically at an old computer monitor. The image, which originally surfaced as a stock photo, became a viral sensation around 2011. It is used to satirize the gullibility and innocent excitement of new internet users who fall for obvious scams, pop-up ads, or common online pranks. Whether he is winning a free iPad or trying to download more RAM, the kid represents the endearing yet hilarious lack of digital literacy we all once had.
