"SEC - S9W5: "The Internet, my best ally"

The activities which I do with the internet can not be over emphasis because I make use of it every day be it at work or home. At work I use the Internet to communicate with thousands of users around the world to resolve their queries also I use the Internet to communicate with my loved ones via Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media handle.

I also use the Internet to blog here in steemit, since I joined the platform I always make sure that a drop content and also interact with other users worldwide.

When it comes to learning, I usually go online to search for more information and learn new things, mostly on youtube and sometimes I use Google.

Well, I started using the Internet when I was sixteen years old, that was after my secondary school. I applied for admission to one of the best schools in Nigeria and while waiting, my mum enrolled me in a computer class where I go to learn a lot with the internet.

Back then, my mum bought Asia200 Nokia devices for me but it was not giving me all i needed to do online. Except Facebook and 2go, and google which were functioning well. To have more access to the Internet, One has to go to the computer center to buy time, and the time will be printed out for you with the access so that you will log in to the system once it's reached an hour the system will lock. Except you are buying another time to continue having access to the Internet.

As I mentioned earlier, I used the internet 24/7 every day because I always spend eight hours at work using the Internet and once I'm home I will use it to blog here on steemit. If I still have little time to rest I will chat with my friends via WhatsApp. I can't go a day without using the Internet.

Oooh yes, I do have the internet at home which is the Mtn Mifi broadband I bought from an MTN shop here in Kwara state. It helps me to access the Internet on time, it is very fast and smooth. The broadband can be used both on the system, and phone, and I usually buy the data bundle which comes with other allocated data for one month.

To me, the Internet can be harmful when we miss used it in times of hacking, spamming, cyberbullying, and others. Sometimes scammers may create a website attracting people to invest funds and they get away with it. Money blindly invested in the internet is very risky.

So many people don't think we'll before given our their personal information and posting things on their site and that can be harmful to them in the future because someone may use it against them someday so it will be very good if one is very careful on the things they post on the internet.

Also, the content of the internet is not filtered, children who have access to the internet may be exposed to many things that may pollute their minds such as photography and others.

The Internet has a lot of benefits to me, but I will just list out a few among others. The internet makes my work easier and faster and it also makes me learn a lot online. Without the Internet, I couldn't have been part of the steemit family but I'm glad that the Internet has made me come in contact with the platform on which I learn and also make earnings that help me to settle my needs.

With the Internet I don't have to go to the bank before making any transaction, instead, I will make use of my phone and my network to transfer and receive funds. Also, I can advertise my business online for people to see my product and also contact me with ease.

I also make use of the internet to store information which I can retrieve back anywhere and at any time provided my internet is connected, also it creates job opportunities.

In conclusion, the internet has been so helpful to everyone, and it makes life easier because it's covers a lot of aspect in terms of communication, marketing, research and more.
