what do you use the internet for?
I was sitting here thinking about it, I don't really use the internet for all that much, yahooka is probably the main thing I check, with I guess the weather network website banking online and tsn.ca
what do u use it for?

If you look at the situation from an outside point of view, all we're really doing is staring at screens with our fingers on keyboards. A monkey could do this. The communication is real, don't get me wrong, but it's just electricity.

Mostly for Call of Duty 4 on the PS3, ordering food and other stuff. Oh, and checking the news. I rarely chat to other people or check my email.

Had to take one of my classes online, so I have to check that incessantly. Keeping in touch with some people, music, reading, real into psych and medical journals and findings and ideas and knowledge and reading and reading. Mmm. News. Just general geekery.
