How net-savvy would you say you are?

So hard to answer this question. I have been buying and selling stuff online for ~10 years. This is the first forums I have been part of (been here 3 years). I create internet software for a living.

So I would say pretty damn savvy. However, there are people that make me look like a rookie. So I would give myself 8/10.
 
It seems to me that net-savvy would include everything from avoiding goatse links (of course, knowing what goatse and tubgirl are would fall under the net-savvy definition) to not getting your fingers burned on ebay. There are so many more specific things that go into it though, and you can just tell a net-unsavvy person when they have a hissy fit over an "article" on The Onion, forward spam, or try to convert people on a message board.
 
nahh... i've been at this for 6 years and I haven't gotten it yet... guess im a slow learner... 🙁
 
if we're talking about 'internet culture 101' then i'd say just about everyone in atot is at least above average savvy.

Weeeeeeeeee! I've never been above average in anything!
 
I'd say 9/10

There's sites and stuff that I still haven't gotten the hang of / discovered, but if someone asks me to find nearly ANYTHING, I can probably rattle off a relevant URL off the top of my head.

wow that was a long time ago... i think i had an accnt before that... but at changed forum software and didnt export the usernames... i dont know...
i dont remember

savvy... thats me
 
How are you guys defining savvy though? Not length of use, because you can be a longtime user and still a no0b in culture, I think.
 
I find that I can Google pretty much any piece of information that is requested of me. Manipulating Google is my specialty. Net-savvy would be, to me at least, the ability to get what you want out of the internet.
 
Not "net savvy": People who believe Landover Baptist and Bonzai Kitten are for real, who also delete random Windows files based on advice from helpful emails.
 
I think I am halfway net savvy, but I get lulled into a false sense of security sometimes and do stupid stuff every once and a while by accident.

By accident I mean giving out my real email address or name, etc.
 
I agree with the other definitions posted..

I would rate myself an 8/10.. I'm sure there are "better", but I'm also more net-savvy than most of the general population.

A good friend, who has since grown wiser: "I was cleaning out my computer and deleting stuff. I didn't need autoexec.bat, did I?"
