Absolutely, this is my student ID and passport.

I’m from Rajkot.
Do you work or study?

What are the disadvantages of using computer?
Well, every coin has two sides, the biggest disadvantage of using a computer is people are glued to that screen and sit for hours together which is absolutely unhealthy. The other disadvantage is that they’re so engrossed in playing games on the Internet or chatting on the social sites that the productivity goes down. The deadliest impact is the youth suffer from the backache and eyesore in the long run because they use computers exceedingly.

Yes, I use a laptop for my research so I am not the machine most of the time. At times, I hate my excessive usage of computer but I’ve no option but do that.
Do you think that the internet is misused by many people nowadays? Why?
Yes, I think so. Though the computer is seen as a salvation (=lifeline) in many ways, there’s a growing concern about how adversely people are being impacted. People use internet for their various conveniences but some people fire up the steaming debates by using their extreme views and provoke a faction of people on certain issues. The internet offers a variety of free information and resources that can either build or destroy the life of a teenager. As a result, many teens have an access to forbidden websites, such as pornography ones. We support sex education, but not the culture of being a pervert. Excessive usage of internet in the wrong way destroys not only children but also matured people morally and psychologically. The research also suggests that Internet is also widely used by criminals and terrorists in exchanging the sensitive information or learning about the various crime modus operandi (=method, technique).
Do you aspire to learn something different in the future?
Yes, I want to learn tap dancing. I wish I was taught this type of dancing during the school time but it didn’t happen. It’s very popular in the world especially when you attend any party with your companion. Those dancing moves and expressions on the face make the tap dancing more mesmerizing.
