Technological Words

Hi

Does anybody here know how to say technological stuff in Hokkien or if there are any words at all for it?

I'm referring to words for

internet
keyboard
mouse(computer one)
speakers
megabyte [I'm doubtful there's one for this]
etc

Thanks

Ah, good to know that it's used in taiwan.

Where is this "here" that you're talking about and what do they use there?

What's the hanzi for what you're trying to use for internet? I thought internet was "yin de wang" in Mandarin so what would it be in Hokkien? I thing it should be "ing __ bang" but what would be the Hokkien for the Mandarin "de"?
