This question was phrased by the source as follows: "On these cards you can see options on how one can be active on the internet, what one can do on the internet. Please arrange the cards on the sheet in front of you, depending on how often you use the internet for: conversations with other users (chatting), e.g. via Skype or Facebook Messenger etc."
(original German question:"Hier auf den Karten steht Verschiedenes, wie man selbst im Internet aktiv werden kann, was man dort machen kann. Bitte verteilen Sie die Karten entsprechend auf das Blatt, je nachdem, wie häufig Sie das im Internet machen: Unterhaltung mit anderen Nutzern (Chatten) z.B. über Skype oder Facebook Messenger usw.")
