For the majority of us, the internet is an integral part of our everyday lives...where would be without Google?! With so many new terms, slang words, trends popping up all the time and with each generation, it can be difficult to stay on top of it all. Put your knowledge to the test and take the fun (and educational) quiz here that O2 NSPCC created to find out who knows more about the online world in your home.

Whether you are an internet whizz or need to brush up on your internet terms, share your score below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck

Popcornandbuttons · 15/03/2019 22:15

starlight36 · 15/03/2019 22:22

4/8 - my children are quite young so
I have time to get more savvy!

pamplemousse · 15/03/2019 22:40

7/8
But am a ta who learned a lot from a talk we had in school

FannyFifer · 15/03/2019 23:19

8 out of 8 for me, I'm down with the kids. Grin

FreshGarbage · 15/03/2019 23:46

4/8...in my defence I only watch Super Simple Songs on YouTube...I've got a few years to get savvy 👶🏻👶🏻

TellMeItsNotTrue · 15/03/2019 23:48

6/8 - You're so internet savvy

Guessed wrong on Alexa, I'd have said 2014 but thought probably around longer as they didn't catch on straight away, and I've never heard of the YouTuber

I think I know a lot about staying safe / keeping DC safe on the internet, but with new things constantly popping up I think it's something that people should always be aware of and that there is no such thing as being too safe

LouMoo13 · 16/03/2019 00:45

4/8 oops! Confused

daisychain01 · 16/03/2019 03:47

5

It was a disappointingly dumbed down quiz. It had nothing to do with online safety and being internet 'savvy' at all. Just knowing a few buzzwordy names of social media sites isn't a measure of knowledge. I despair!

MakeTeaNotWar · 16/03/2019 07:15

Only 4 out of 8, having guessed 2

releasethehounds · 16/03/2019 08:35

7/8 quite proud of that for an old un! I have teenagers though and I work with other teens!

Justme1981 · 16/03/2019 08:46

2!!
But in my defence what has knowing viewing figures or youtubers got to do with staying safe online??!!

dancemom · 16/03/2019 09:10

4/8 pretty bad 🙈

I'm salty now! 😁

JC4PMPLZ · 16/03/2019 09:39

7 out of 8. Gorgeous one let me down...not a clue

littleme96 · 16/03/2019 10:31

7/8 here. I feel that there is so much more to know though, as the internet and social media are constantly changing.

Aragog · 16/03/2019 10:42

7/8 - a few lucky guesses

But not really much about actual online safety there, bar PAW I guess.

I teach online safety all the time. Due to go in a CEOP Ambassador course on Thursday. Done several others before.

But they don't really cover number of hits on YouTube, when Alexa was introduced, etc. ,

Realitea · 16/03/2019 10:51

I got 8/8! Although some were guesses.

QueenOfPharts · 16/03/2019 11:39

7/8 some pretty lucky guesses and obs I'm v savy Grin

HotChocolateLover · 16/03/2019 12:03

5/8. Love the PAW one, will have to watch out for that one!

southbailey · 16/03/2019 12:20

8!

TheGirlWithGlassFeet · 16/03/2019 13:17

6/8 but mainly guesses. I need to brush up soon.

insancerre · 16/03/2019 13:22

7 out of 8
I’ve no idea who Gigi Gorgeous is

MirandaWest · 16/03/2019 14:17

8/8 with the odd guess but pretty sure on the majority. Having 15 and 13 year old DC seems to be a help (didn’t ask them either Grin)

lillypopdaisyduke · 16/03/2019 15:32

5/8 - not that tech savvy, the ones I got wrong I had not previously heard of.

outnumbered77 · 16/03/2019 15:52

5/8 but I did guess a couple!
