online activity
Digital web interaction
Online activity is anything done through the internet—browsing websites, sending emails, posting on social media, shopping, streaming video, or playing games.
The phrase appears frequently in discussions of privacy, screen time, and digital footprints: Parents should monitor their children's online activity.
It contrasts with offline or real-world activity, though the distinction grows increasingly artificial as digital life becomes inseparable from daily existence.
