My partner, Akiko, has been using the Internet since she was an elementary student. At that time, she used the web service provided in the official site of Sanrio for leisure. She could get a "virtual home" in the site, and enjoy exchanging of messages with other users and charactors, for instance, Bad Batsu-Maru. I think some of you might also feel nostalgic for his name. Then in her high school days, she started to utilize the Internet for blogging, and for getting plenty of information about study, future colledge, and so on. After entering ICU, the Internet became more essential for her as a tool of academic activities. In addition, recently she has realized the convenience of online shoping. Due to reseach and order on the Internet, she could give her mother a nice present on Mother's day.

My partner Susumu has been using the internet since he was in elementary school. His biggest influence was his brother, 8 years older than him, who was using the internet daily at that time. Presently, Susumu uses the internet for researching, studying, e-mailing, downloading music, looking up transit and maps, as well as downloading games. Susumu is fairly confident in handling the computer and the internet, but he says he is not so familiar with it as to be called a "computer otaku." However, he likes using it because it is convenient; it is not neccasary to go to the library everytime, but he can stay home and do his schoolwork.
