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

I got a 6 but even then I guessed some... eek.

JeremyCorbynsCoat · 17/03/2019 15:08

5! I'm only 27 😫

Singerleon · 17/03/2019 17:40

7/8! Pretty pleased with that

Lurleene · 17/03/2019 17:49

7/8, fell down on the YouTuber question but not really my thing!

unorganisedmumoftwo · 17/03/2019 18:20

7/8 🙂

heavenlypink · 17/03/2019 18:25

6/8 ..... I got the YouTube questions wrong!

Although this quiz isn't really about internet safety the site it comes from does have a great deal of information about age restrictions and what children think about various social media sites. Could be worth a look for lots of parents and professionals involved with children

HubrisComicGhoul · 17/03/2019 18:51

7/8 I was wrong about the snapchat age.

ABlether · 17/03/2019 19:37

7/8, didn't know the one about the YouTuber. I think have a techy husband and working in a primary school means I am relatively up to date with these things. Nothing quite like a roomful or 8 year olds looking at you like you're 100 years old for not knowing what TikTok is Grin

My 6 yr old child will be sitting an assessment for St Albans High School for Girls? What sort of questions should she be expecting? What are they looking for in a child?? Thank you

c75kp0r · 17/03/2019 22:14

5 but how was it about safety??

6/8 - no bloody clue who the "gorgeous" woman is!

Azra12 · 18/03/2019 03:36

4/8
Wasn't expecting it to be so low but then again hadn't heard of the YouTuber or knew how many views Britney had 🤨

8/8
Full disclosure tho...
One was an educated lucky guess

4- though I think it's my pop culture knowledge that let me down

poundoflard · 18/03/2019 07:27

7 and I'm the most un savvy internet user ever.
nonsense

potatochips84 · 18/03/2019 08:31

I got 6/8 but a few guesses as I haven't heard of some of the YouTube people.

qate · 18/03/2019 08:50

6/8 - what a random set of questions though!

AhhhHereItGoes · 18/03/2019 08:53

I got 7 / 8.
One I got wrong was Gigi Gorgeous as I don't follow fashion/beauty YouTubers.
Otherwise I think I did well.

AhhhHereItGoes · 18/03/2019 08:58

Also rarely seen PAW used.
Often POS (parent over shoulder)

anitagreen · 18/03/2019 10:09

8/8 happy with that.

MrsElf · 18/03/2019 10:33

6/8
A couple of guesses (Alexa) but mostly my lack of interest in you tubers.

CoffeeCoffeeTea · 18/03/2019 10:37

5/8 , guess I'm not internet savvy.

elQuintoConyo · 18/03/2019 11:11

8/8

50% were guesses. And that bollocks questions. We don't have an Alexa, don't want one, will never get one. DS has zero interest in YouTubers. Who cares about Britney Spears YouTube hits (although I love Despacito and dance to it at every opportunity!).

And thanks Jellyslice for the link to the previous NSPCC thread, eye-opening Shock

SamanthaH92 · 18/03/2019 12:02

7/8
Not a fan of you tubers though
