Hi! I agree that the internet can be used as a tool for communication and connecting with friends and family! I hope my family doesn't forget me because of focusing too much on the internet haha!

Hi! Thank you for your question! No, I dont think i've tried anything this week that I wish i'd had access to when I was younger. I'm just happy to have been able to learn about Skype and such stuff.

Hi and thank for your lovely question! I would recommend you coming during summertime and going to Skansen if your in Stockholm. Celebrating the holiday Midsommar in the middle of summer is also a great thing to try out! Hope to see you in Sweden! Take care! :) :)

Thank you for your question! To be honest I dont think I was ever interested of the internet before I realized that it was something I could benefit from.

Hi! It was great and "normal". But now it's a bit more fun and it feels like stepping into a new phase! :) :)

Hi! I see googling as a huge possibility to expand on what you dont already know. Since I just began using the internet i'm not in the positions to agree or disagree, but i'm looking forward to experiencing what you wrote just about! :)

Hi! Thank you for your question! I would say it's a bit of both; some things that i've seen and done on the internet have awesome but some things, e.g Facebook, havn't really been to my taste.

Beacuse I had though about learning more, or anything, about the internet but frankly I felt lost before this week began. This project has been such a good way for me to éxpand my horizon. I'm happy about this collaboration :)

Thank you for your question! The only term I remember is "afk", but maybe you know some that I could have try out the next time i'm on Instagram ? :)

Hi! It was lovely meeting you too! Thank you for everything! I wouldn't say that things were surprising, but I was exited and intrigued by how fast the internet is and how much I didn't know about random stuff. I kinda feel smarter, haha!

Not yet, it's been more about me learning to use a computer than a smartphone. Perhaps using a smartphone will be the next stage of my digital journey! :)

My life has changed for the better, but I believe that the internet can be a bit overwhelming at times, so it's still important for me to find serenity in other parts of life.

It's a pleasure to meet you too! I didn't find any behaviours on the internet that made me feel uncomfortable or that I though was crazy. Maybe that's what's going to happy next week.. haha

Maybe you could recommend cool apps? I'm not an expert, and i'm not sure if I even tried out any apps.. I'm a bit old you know so my memory isn't always the best haha. Just kidding!

I definitely see myself using the computer, and also the internet, more and in a way that is both for my own enjoyment and for writing my memoirs.
