Wow. When I thought about it, I use the internet for a lot of different things.
1. For designing, hosting, and maintenance of my main personal sites 2. To advertise my job as a dancer 3. To vent, show off funny stuff, etc. in my livejournal 4. To connect with people all over the world in the online web community, especially in the adult entertainment, local swinger, and fanlisting communities. 5. To research a myriad of topics, both personal and professional 6. To download/listen to music 7. To chat 8. To play online games 9. To display my own designed graphics/search for graphics 10. Pure pleasure of lots of interesting websites to browse through. If I think of anything else, will add, but what else can y'all think of for why you use it? |

QUOTE(whyme @ Feb 9 2005, 10:57 PM) 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  Hi.. as i've said in the shoutbox... I'm new.. my parents always ask me what do i do in internet for so many hours. Well... I love to chat.. so i spend lots of hours on MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger. Sencondly i visit a lot of web sites and participate in a lot of forums. Then i look for information for the school and now that i'm 18... for the university... that's all..  PS: i'm from Argentina... we speak spanish here... so i may not write very well in English... Sorry

I use the internet for research and communication the most, but I also use it to play games, and downloading software (especially freely distributable open source software, so I can learn programming)

I use the internet for 3 reasons. One is for my My Webpage. Another one of the reasons I use the internet is for forum posting. I visit about three founsa nd post their like this for example. And my last reason That I use the internet is for research. I do not doresearch that often. That is becasue I hate doing that on the internet unless it is necesarry. And most of the time it is not so I do not.

Yeah, this is funky enough. Group: Members Posts: 194 Joined: 30-July 04 From: Lebanon Member No.: 293 |
Usually.. a lot of stuff.
web browsing(of course) FTP and direct connect, for the same purpose as.... Filesharing, including limewire/gnutella and most of the major netoworks besides kazaa. including bittorrent Gaming, including a few MMORPG's Streaming music/video. kinda of a new thing to me, but im enjoying internet radio a lot instant messaging, everyone i know likes to message me at weird hours and then whine that im not there.. and sign off before i get back(happens once a week per person on average) IRC, because its still simply awesome. Random software updates and folding@home units, self explanitory. That about covers it i think
