It's quite unusally of me to ask such and obvious question, but this "thing" just sparked up to me, waht do people REALLY use the internet for?

I'd like to conduct a little survey, so post it down and tell me what you use the internet for.

I use it for:

a) mantaining my website
b ) playing online games
c) blogging
d) reading news
e) posting in forums
f) downloading programs
g) researching for information

i use it 4 searching what i want to know at that time, learning, reading news, building website, and sure: read email.
i never play the game via internet. too expensive.

I mainly use the internet for my amusement. Simple things make me happy and I find that surfing through informative and sometimes useless but fun websites make my stay in the world wide web worth while. Oh and also I'm an amatuer web designer/developer and so I try to look at other site's layout and I compare it to mine.

I also check my email because I have friends from all over and I don't want to miss out on anything.

I usually just get on the internet whenever I have nothing else to do or when I'm bored - which is quite often lol. Pretty much all I do on the internet is listen to music, chat on MSN and play some online games. I also use the internet a lot for research assignments and for typing up school work etc so yeah...

i use internet to:

-Do homework
-Find/research information or anything i need
-To chat/mail with ppl

But mostly when i really get this urge to build a website or make myself a project to do something i get online and i stay on for 24 hours a day until its done. For example the website i have now i worked on it for 3 days.

Work. There's no work in print graphics anymore just online stuff. Not sure if that's a bad thing just that everyone thinks they can do it and no one pays enough for it any more....

Absolutely everything you can do with the internet - web design, forums, gaming, chatting, communicating, ordering food, packages - the list goes on and on and on. The internet is my sustenance.

I use the internet for a variety of reasons. Although, I mainly use it for doing research on things for school, personal knowledge and most importantly, inspiration for things in my life.

1.) Research and Learning
2.) Inspiration
3.) Searching for Textures/Art for graphics
4.) Software Downloads/Updates
5.) Music Downloads/Information
6.) Chatrooms/Forums
7.) Gaming/Tips and Strategies
8.) Trial & Error Web Development
9.) Enjoyment

It's all pretty basic, most everyone uses the internet for a lot of those reasons and I am no different about why I use the net. It's the best place for information and softwares.
