I also do many activities online.some of them are listed below:

The most joyous thing is that i can contact with my parents anytime.they live far from my city.but whenever i want to to talk to them i just make a call, mostly a video call ,to them.i also use it to talk to my friends, other family members whenever i want to, whether what time it is.all credit goes to internet that people can communicate to their loved ones despite of the distance.it has become a source of connect between those who are far from each other.
It also work as a learning source.for example:i didn't know how to cook before,but now i can search for everything on internet.whatever the dish i want to make i just make a search on internet and learn the recipe through it.
Through it many people can earn money,as it works as an earning source as well.i have learnt alot of things from internet which i didn't knew before.i work on steemit and enjoy working here.through Steemit i have learnt so many things.
Internet has made the shopping easier.you can shop anything through it just buy a single click and it will be delivered at your home.i also do online shopping through it.it makes a lot of easier to shop.whether its a grocery shopping, clothing,shoes, medicines, cosmetics etc ,you can buy anything through it.
Through internet i pay my bills i.e.elctricity,water,gas, internet etc.it makes a lot easier for me.
I order food through internet.thats a very easy way.they just deliver food in about 30 minutes.in this way I don't even have to go out to bought something.everything is just a click away.

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

I started using internet when i was about 14 years old.at that time i just use internet to get some help in my studies.i often participate in school functions and programs.so sometimes i had to prepare for my speech or debate.at that time internet really helped me alot.it gave me alot of information about my topic.which was very helpful and easier for me. nowadays as i have told you that i use it for various purposes. I use for about 3-4 hours daily.as i make calls,work etc on it.

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

The internet has became an important part of life.we can send informations and small and big messages faster then ever.it has made our life very easy and effortless. nowadays people are very much dependent on internet as it brings us alot of convenience.

Yes,i also have internet at my home.Me and all my family members use it.The first one is Wifi.and the other one is a sim card device.when due to some reasons wifi the broadband network doesn't work,we use device internet.whenever our whole family is moving out to a far place,then we take device with us.so that we can use the internet during travelling.actually we don't pay for the sim device internet.because this internet is free for us .on this device the package is of 100Gb.this benefit is from my husband's office.so we don't have to pay for that.we just pay for the wifi broadband network.below the prices of above networks are mentioned.

Internet service	Price in PKR	Price in Steem
Wifi 6Mbps unlimited	1875	33.56
Telenor 4G Device 100 Gb	3800	68.02

So these were the rates of internet devices that i use.

Why do you think the internet can be harmful?

Yes, internet can be harmful if it is negatively used. Every thing has its merits and demerits.similarly internet has also some harmful effects.

it has made our life easier but nowadays people are too much dependent on internet.they get disconnected from the world.they didn't even bother what is happening around them
Spending too much time on internet can be harmful for us as it causes lack of sleep, can affect our eyes etc.
It also causes cybercrimes.people does illegal activities on internet which lead to huge loss.
It can be dangerous for childrens too.because children can get access to any site which is restricted and harmful for them.
Students using too much internet have lost their interest in the studies.which has diverted their attention and distrupted their future and have a bad impact on them.

So we all should need to know the consequences of misuse of internet.it should be positively used rather than misusing it.

What benefits has the internet brought to your life?

Internet has brought many benefits in everyone's life.because of internet everything is now on our fingertips.it has made everything accessible and demolished every boundaries.

Hola amiga, espero te encuentres muy bien... Ciertamente el internet se ha convertido en una herramienta muy eficaz en la vida del ser humano, nos permite mantenernos comunicados con nuestros seres amados, con en tu caso con tus queridos padres.

Sin dudas, es una fuente de aprendizaje, la cantidad de información y tutoriales que podemos encontrar es impresionante. También, nos ha facilitado los pagos y diligencias que antes nos llevaba mucho tiempo realizar.

Aunque el internet puede ser una gran herramienta también puede ser perjudicial si abusamos en la exposición a los dispositivos, debemos estar atentos del tipo de contenido que consumimos y no descuidar nuestras vidas por estar en línea.

Fue un gusto visitar tu publicación. Éxitos en el desafío. Saludos y bendiciones.
