✴️What activities do you do online?

There's almost no limit to what we can do from online. The Internet makes it possible to quickly find information, communicate with people around the world, manage your finances activities, shop from home, listen to music, watch videos, and much more. Let's see some of the most commonly used ways online today.

There are many different search engines we can use to find information, but some of the most popular include Google, Yahoo!, Internet Explorer,Safari. Electronic mail that means email is a way to send and receive messages across the Internet. Almost everyone who uses the Internet log in with their own email account. This is because you'll need an email address to do just about anything online, from online banking to creating a Facebook account, log in to own your Binance account.

Social networking websites are another way to connect and share with all over the world. As you know Facebook is the world's largest social networking site, with more than 1 billion users worldwide. But my most popular using apps are Steemit and You Tube. I really happily spend more time with these networks.

✴️Since what age did you start using the Internet? How much do you use it every day?

It was only in 2009 when I was 10 years old that I went to a foundation institute to learn ICT. First, I did various educational activities online. Taught how to use various tools through search engine. Actually, I entered the Internet world that day. After that day, I took steps to go online through that course. But the internet was not necessary for my schooling, so I started using the internet again only in 2015. I improved my knowledge which was limited to school education through internet and you tube. Also, when I see a delicious dish on you tube, I try to prepare it while playing the video.

The Internet now provides us with so many benefits that we need to use every day. Chatting with friends, gain information for our education like so many paths we can get from Internet. I use the internet at least five hours a day. It is used even more on Zoom meeting days through online technology.

✴️Do you have internet at home, how much does the service cost (please indicate the price in local currency and in Steem).

Yes, I mostly use the SLT fiber WiFi connector to access the internet at home. It costs only 2000 lkr per month. It is only 40 Steem in steem currency. It allows you to go online continuously without interruption. Apart from this, I have activated an Aitel Freedom package for my mobile as I am boarded these days. It is 515 in lkr and only 5 steem in Steem currency. A2A 1000SMS, 250 calls and 250 SMS to other networks, A2A calls & SMS, 30GB Data per month in this package. I use both these packages to go online.

✴️Why do you think the internet can be harmful?

Internet is a network used today from small children to adults. For example, finding and playing games on the Internet. When the wrong message goes to the child's mind, the society has reached a situation where it is not possible to save the child. There are many people in today's society who have gone astray due to the wrong friends they find on the internet. Therefore, we should get used to using the information on the internet with a correct understanding.

✴️What benefits has the internet brought to your life?

We can find information from internet. There are billions of websites online today, has a lot of information on the Internet. Search engines make this information easier to find as our wish. All you have to do is type one or more keywords as you wish, and the search engine will look for relevant websites. For example, let's say you're looking for a tutorial in C language. You could use a search engine to learn about C language even find out where to learn them online!

You can also use the Internet to complete many daily tasks and enjoy your free time. For example, you can manage your bank payments through smart passbook, pay your bills, and shop for just about anything. The main advantage here is convenience. Rather than going from place to place, you can do all of these tasks at home via your smart mobile, table or laptop.
