A Grandad Peter

I might be over 80 but the Internet is invaluable to me.

At my age it’s not always so easy to get about and my

friends and family are scattered all over the globe. It’s

difficult to visit and have face-to-face conversations that

often. It’s a bit pricy too! Phoning isn’t that convenient

because of the different time zones. I don’t think my

brother in Australia would appreciate being woken up at

three in the morning just for me to say hello! So I keep

in touch by email and it’s very important to me. It took

me a while to get the hang of it but now it’s no problem

at all.

B Daughter Lynne

I must admit that I’m a spendaholic and I’m on auction

sites all the time. I can’t resist a bargain and I love the

excitement of bidding against other people and never

being sure whether you’re going to win or not. It’s

quite addictive so I have to be careful or else I would be

completely broke! I think it’s incredible that whatever

you’re looking to buy, someone out there has got it to sell.

C Mum Karen

I find the net useful for downloading information for

my students. You can also access sites that give you free

lesson plans and good, imaginative ideas for making

lessons interesting. There’s such a lot of knowledge out

there too. To get the answers to the kind of questions

I have, it would take hours with piles of books and I

simply don’t have the time. For me the net is a lifeline!

D Dad Oliver

My big thing is news and sports and I’m always online

checking the latest scores. I work shifts too, so I often

miss the regular news slots and with the net I can always

watch news clips of programmes that were on earlier.

It also brings you breaking news and with the more

controversial issues if you want to, you can read people’s

comments and of course, make your own. I do that quite

often. And there are also online newspapers. If I don’t

get a paper, I can always go online and click on to the

newspapers website. It’s easier to choose what you want

to read rather than leafing through the papers which can

be so big these days.
