Q. 1. What types of websites are popular among your 
generation? 
Answer:
Being a person of the young generation, who have either 
finished their studies or have just started their careers, I would say that 
websites on news, job postings, social networking, entertainment 
industry, sports and e-commerce are probably the most popular among 
our generation. However, job sites probably would top them all because 
there is a huge number of unemployed youth in my country, and they 
just like to surf through those websites in order to improve their 
opportunities to land on a new job or better job. E-commerce websites 
don’t fall very far behind the job sites because they also attract a lot of 
young visitors for obvious reasons. Finally, social networking websites 
like Facebook and Twitter are hugely popular among those youths. 
Q. 2. Is using the internet a social or solitary activity? Why? 
Answer:
In my humble opinion, I would say that it is a solitary activity 
for many because people don’t really need or are “required” to interact 
with other people in their society in order to use the internet. Besides, 
when somebody is using the internet, he or she is usually busy finding 
some information or looking at something on their screens. Therefore, 
even if there are other people around him/her, he or she doesn’t exactly 
pay much attention to them in order to make it a “social” thing. 
However, if we consider the purpose or function of social networking 
websites, they are often meant to help us connect more people and 
become more social by bringing friends and relatives together and 
letting people find like-minded people over the internet so that they can 
meet and work for a common cause. 
Q. 3. How has the internet changed social behaviour? 
Answer:
The use of the internet has significantly changed our social 
behaviours and attitude. Today, we spend more time on surfing on the 
internet, talking with some people with probably some “false” names on 
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, while completely forgetting to have 
even a casual conversation with friends and families around us. As a 
result, we are “isolating” ourselves more and more from the “realities” 
around us. Besides, since some people are glued to the internet for long 
hours, they don’t really feel like going out to enjoy the normal thing in 
life which is actually causing “depression” in many of the internet users.

However, there is a completely different side of the use of the internet 
which connects friends and relatives and give people a common platform 
to raise their voice or share information for good. A year ago, our local 
administrator decided to build a factory near our neighbourhood and 
many people learned about it via the internet. They shared their 
thoughts and finally met to protest it personally. I see this event as a 
great example of how the internet can strengthen our social relationship 
and bring good things to society.
