what do you use the internet for?

Mikey · 10-16-2009, 12:02 PM

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?

verklingen · 10-16-2009, 12:08 PM

work, videos, shopping, gaming, news, research, email, music, banking, finding restaurants/stores/places of interest, maps/directions, keeping in touch with people, and yahooka!

Blue_Dolphin · 10-16-2009, 04:20 PM

Facebook, Email, chatting, Yahooka, videos and information.

Mikey · 10-17-2009, 12:20 AM

information is the vital recurring key here

Mercury · 10-17-2009, 03:51 AM

I use the internet as an escape from things I should be doing in the real world.

Angelo · 10-17-2009, 03:54 AM

i do the same thing mercury
it gets the time going
sitting on forums, downloading the nights movie, facebook

Mercury · 10-17-2009, 04:01 AM

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.

Smith&Stoned · 10-17-2009, 07:15 AM

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.

my_scatterheart · 10-17-2009, 01:20 PM

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.

cole · 10-17-2009, 01:26 PM
