What do you think the internet is?
Does anybody know what the world wide web is?
Daisy YouTube? Joshua Netflix? Johanna I love Netflix! Harper I think the internet is when signals come through little bits of light and then comes through electronic stuff.
Johanna Yes! www.com.au – it’s a very important person. DP Is it a he or a she? Johanna It’s a he and sometimes it’s a she. DP And what does he or she do? Johanna They tell us about the news.
Is the internet the same or different to the TV?
What do you like to do on your favourite device?
Joshua Different? Harrie The same! Daisy Maybe like kind of both.
Penelope I like to play games on the iPad. Harper Me too! I love games! Daisy I LOVE Roblox! DP I don’t know what that is but it sounds exciting. Johanna I just love watching YouTube.
Do you use a computer or tablet or phone? Daisy I’m too young for a computer. Robert I’m not! Johanna I’ve got my own iPod. It only has songs – but it has really good ones. It used to be my mum’s.
What are your favourite shows to watch? Penelope I like Bigfoot. Daisy I like The Friendly Giant. Harrie Walking with Dinosaurs. And I like to watch Jurassic Park and Jurassic World on YouTube.
