Internet is that one magic that has transformed the world. We have never been so close to each other and so much aware of the world. We can send messages in a click, get any information the moment we need it, find our lost friends and just do about anything, in just a click. Being one of the most amazing inventions till date, let us today have a look at some of the questions related to its use.
Do you often use the Internet?
Yes, Internet is my life. I am blogger and a systems engineer. Both of them require me to be present online most of the time. So, there are times when I have to do some sort of certifications and then there are things that I want to post on my blog or do some online job. Internet has opened up so many possibilities that imagining life without it is just so scary.
When did you first use the Internet?
I remember using Internet for the first time when I was in my intermediate school, for a project.

Approximately, I think almost around eight hours a day with four to five hours when I am extensively using Internet for either blogging or doing an online certification.
About how many hours a week do you use the Internet?
I use internet almost every day, so I guess it would be around 80 hours per week. Because, if I am not travelling on the weekends I go for Internet.
Who uses the Internet the most in your family?
It would definitely be me. My parents are not very much bothered about Internet and me and my brother would have tough fight on that. But, I think my brother simply uses Internet to download lectures and see them but with me, I am more of streaming videos or may be searching google whenever required during learning. So, I think I win the fight with my brother being very close to it.

When I am using Internet in the office, I use Macintosh. But, at home, I have got my Linux laptop, using which I access Internet.
What are some security issues you must think about when you access the Internet?
Internet is very powerful and it can very easily take everything that you have if you don’t protect it properly.

Also, while buying something we need to make sure that the site that we are giving in our details are safe.
Have you ever bought something using the Internet?
Yes, I have bought a couple of things using Internet. The first time that I used Internet to buy something was a phone for my father.
