Recall the instances in previous chapters when
• Muskan shared video of her experiment with her classmate using a messenger app.
• She created a blog and shared the images she clicked when she visited the state museum of Bhubaneswar.
• She thought of placing the song on web which she sang in a school function.
• She started speaking to Hasmukh or Skype instead of telephone.
• She shared the digital album of her birthday with Hasmukh through email.
• She decided joining an online course on puppetry during her summer vacation.

Internet is used to search and gather resources to enhance knowledge and to complete your projects. In earlier times Library was the most sought after place for gathering information from books and encyclopaedias.
But now‑a‑days Internet has made it possible to search and gather variety of multimedia resources for learning.
