Introductions all Around

As an auditor my work day is spent in front of a computer. At work I use the internet to search information for the companies that I am auditing. At home I use the internet to check email, do some product research, maybe go on facebook to send someone a message, and occasionally to make reservations/purchases. I also use the internet to look up phone numbers and establishments of interest.

My mother uses the internet on a very limited matter. She will send and check email and also occasionally research a topic she is unfamiliar with, but typically all she uses the internet for is email. She uses other resources that are more familiar and comfortable to her to do most research. Her contact with many of her friends and family is done through phone calls and face-to-face meetings, so email is not the most common form of contact for her.
