5. When did you start using the internet? Which website do you frequently visit? What is
the impact of internet in your daily life and in your job performance? Discuss your
internet or on-line experience in a two paragraph format using MS Word.
I started to us the internet since 1997. I frequently visit Yahoo.com,
wikimapia.org, facebook.com, linkedin.com and so many others.
For me, without internet, it is like the world would be lifeless. All people around
the world rely on internet for most of their communications. Including our work, we rely
much on the internet because we use emails in the work places. Our mobile phones are
equipped with internet applications and connections. Everywhere and every time in our
daily lives, we directly or indirectly need the internet. We do bank transactions on the
internet.
If I would analyze the importance of internet, I would say from my experience
itself that it would be difficult to perform the usual things that we are doing everyday
without the internet. Our communication is mainly running on the internet. Our job
involves internet usage. It is like living in the pre-historic times if we would not have
internet in our lives.
6. What was your worst experienced in using the internet (being hacked, virus breakout
from your machine, spam, spoof, etc?). Share your unforgettable or worst internet
experienced.
My worst experience with the internet is when I lost the password of my previous email
account. It gave me a difficulty because most of my valuable information was stored in
that email address. I kept information in that but I dont know why suddenly one day I
could not open that email account. So this gave me a lesson and the next time that I
P a g e | 14
started to use again an email account I made sure that I know how to take care of my
account.
