Have you ever done online shopping? If yes, what did you buy and what was the name of the store?
I bought a pair of sneakers from a sneaker store in the US called Foot Locker. It was safe for me to buy online. I mean if you use a registered website online. The original verified website then everything will follow through. I am very cautious about those things.
How many phones do you have? And do they have passwords?
I only have one phone. It’s an iPhone X. Over the years I used to have many phones, but I thought it is stupid for me. If I give you my number then it means I want you to have my numbers, and chances are, you will use them. I got a password.
Do you use the same password to log into all your social media platforms?
No. I use different passwords because if someone gets access to that password, then they have access to your social media accounts and personal information.
Name three gadgets that you think everyone should consider buying.
Laptop, PlayStation and a Smart TV.

Functionality. Does it actually do what it says it does? Is it useful to my life? It needs to be true to your own needs.
What do you think about full body scanners?
I think they are great. Security is important since people move from different parts of the world. In order to ensure our safety,
everyone needs to be checked.
