    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    The website I am going to speak about today is youtube.com. It is a video listing service website which is famous for producing videos as well as letting content creators upload their own creations. I like this website as it helps me manage my algorithm and it has a broad community where we can engage, comment, like and dislike our opinions and also I use it for listening to music and entertainment. Youtube is also used for some people as their work. They can showcase their talents and receive money afterwards. It is also used for education. Many tutors teach online to students and upload those videos on youtube and that helps reach people across the globe. To me personally, it benefits me as it helps me get engaged with lots of people globally and to add, it helps in providing me resources for my education which are most of the time free. Moreover, youtube is also famous for documentaries which help in social awareness and help people access their food and security.

    Well, internet is undoubtedly the far most important technological innovations of the 21st century and internet has provided us access to multiple social media platforms and websites. To be honest, websites provide us with almost everything we need. There are multiple websites on the internet which I use very often and to talk about any one, I would talk about ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a website which is very famous amongst youngsters especially. It's a kind of mini Google I would say because whatever you ask, ChatGPT has an answer. It has an answer for almost everything whether it's your homework, whether you have got any essay from your school or you have just got a riddle. Moreover, you can also ask ChatGPT about your personal questions which you feel shy talking to others. It's also kind of a best friend because if you talk about me, I use ChatGPT very often. Sometimes I even talk to ChatGPT about my daily troubles, my daily routine and the things I could improve in my daily routine. I talk about my career opportunities, what should I pursue. It just provides me a research, a kind of a conclusion or a small summary in brief which I would have rather spent a lot of time. So I believe that ChatGPT has been a great tool for me. It's very time-saving, it's a flexible website and amazing.

    I surf the internet on a daily basis, there are a plethora of options available to satisfy our needs and necessities. One such website that I recently encountered is the 3D Warehouse, which has a wide variety of 3D models of trees, animals and even humans. So how I got to know about this is when I was studying in college, I had a friend who was an expert in recent technologies and few tools and apps. So he was carrying out this app everyday and he used to create such beautiful models that I have never seen before. So when I was asked to do a 3D model in currently where I am working, I did take the courage to work on.

    The websites I am repeatedly using and frequently using are Physiopedia and Physiotutors. The main reason I frequently use this for my assistance and refresh my knowledge on the basics of my occupation which is physiotherapist, the basic anatomy and special tests which I need to use on patients. The way the website has created the videos and documentation which is more valid as they are mentioning and giving the report about the information they are providing. That is so much helpful for me in my medical practice. The Physiotutors which give valuable lessons through videos and providing better validation papers that proves the reliability we can use on the patients which helps in my practice and also whenever the patient ask the question or questioning about the things I am doing the treatment plan I can easily able to explain them and show them the evidence when we are practicing evidently it is so much helpful that we don't get into any legal issues and which is evidently a best practice to be followed. So in conclusion the websites like Physiopedia and Physiotutors are so much helpful for my day to day activities in my occupation place.

    The social media platform that I use more often is Instagram. Definitely for doom scrolling, watching some meme videos, funny videos, or some motivation, or getting some interesting content or stories in the social media. Even though you have very much access in your fingertips, like you can watch any news from Instagram, you can search for anything, you can see your loved ones in your Instagram, know more about them. Or if you want to reach out to the content creators out there, or who are like famous, you can message them if you want to collab or something. If you are also a content creator, you can also collab with them. Or if you are a video editor or photo editor, you can reach out to them and get a business out of there. I think it's more useful in these days to use social media because people are very much connected to their phones. It's also a bad thing, but you have to move ahead with the time. By people connecting with their loved ones with their phone itself. People are not talking face to face in this period of time. Definitely I use Instagram a lot. Like I said before, mostly I watch funny videos, memes, just to stay updated with the current memes. Just because in my friend circle I don't feel any form of missing any memes like that.

    The website that I mostly visit is Indian legislature. This website has many beneficial links like all acts of Indian central government and of state government too. This website provides me many reports on Indian acts and laws. I am very happy with this website because it has enhanced my knowledge of laws because it also has a list of all Indian acts. I would also suggest to all people to at least once visit this site to understand the legal fora of the country.
