The difference between "now" in past tense and present tense sentences.

Post by kwfine »

I wrote this to my friends:
It used to took 5 seconds for me to reach Youtube, now it only took me 2 seconds to do it. When I was happy and enjoyed watching the videos on Youtube.

And I came across a question about the use of "Now"

(1): It used to took 5 seconds for me to reach Youtube, now it only took me 2 seconds to do it.
(2): It used to took 5 seconds for me to reach Youtube, now it only takes me 2 seconds to do it.

I wonder if there are any differences in meaning between the sentences (1) and (2).
