Arbitrary 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2006 I spend a lot of time on forum, programming...etc. I do a lot of things, actually, so I'll just spout a list: -Read/post at forums... -Read blogs (most of the time I just randomly browse Google; I use GReader to catch my feeds...) -Programming on Notepad++ (currently I'm making a Wordpress plugin to easily customize your css) -I used to read a lot of manga on the Internet, but now, that has been taken over by programming -Draw on Photoshop (often kills my eyes after seven-eight hours of staring at the screen) -When I'm really bored, I get on Google Suggest and try random search queries. I also read Fanfiction, check my deviantArt etc. -I sometimes chat with Google Talk, but most of the times I dislike chatting and try not to stay on. -I used ICQ one time recently, but afterwards I uninstalled it because of the ads. -Then, when I am really really bored, I play some random online game that I find for a couple of hours.

kgd2006 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2006 I am addicted to the internet for various reasons. First, I believe that I am addicted to the internet because it contains vast amount of information. I am currently browsing and researching information on web design, 3d modeling, action scripting and so on. I know that I would not have obtained the skills I have right now without the internet. I learn more from the internet than I actually learned in school. Even my mentors and proffessors reccommend me sources online that would be useful for me to look at if I wanted to learn a specfic material.Secondly, I think that I use most of my time on the internet to download various things whether they be images, music, etc. Because their are times when I'm in the mood I would like to create a graphics image or need to listen to something I heard on the radio.Third, I use the internet for my entertainment. I usually like to play some PC online games that keeps me entertained to relieve my stress from life or boredom. THere are many free online games out there that are very fun to play, and you also can play with your friends online. So this is part of the reason I use the internet and its almost a daily thing.Fourth, I use the internet for browsing myspace. Yup, the infamous place that everyone is browsing and on now a days. If you dont have a myspace account you basically been locked in your room and in the dark. Because this "myspace" network has blown up so much that even politicians are getting their own accounts just so they can get votes which I find rather interesting.Fifth, I use the internet to check my emails, just like many others that use the internet we now have important emails. This is one of the things I do when I first log on to my computer.Lastly, I would sometimes go and check my bills on my credit cards and such just to see that nothing is out of wack. Because when you have a credit card and purchase things online there is always a slight chance that you might have your credit card stolen and misused. So this is one of my responsiblities to check my card from time to time to make sure everything is okay.And I believe that is why I use the internet. Man, I sometimes wonder without the internet what I would be doing right now. Watching TV more? Drawing on paper? Doing outdoor physical activities more? Boy, the internet sure has changed my perspective on life. It has become a necessity in my life as it is for others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
austiniskoge 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 Well I know this is pretty true for about... everyone and their dog.But I am SO addicted to myspace. I'm in a band, and it's the essential resource for everything I need. I could spend all day (if I could) talking to people and checking stuff out on Myspace. It's genius, really.Then, there's also other good stuff like getting free stuff (hard to sort through the pyramid schemes but usually worth it), checking out music, checking out art, finding other resources for my band...The internet is the real world times ten, with higher connection speeds and a nicer interface.That's how I see it.

doudou 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 I spend a lot of time on the internet, which probably isn’t a good thing, but I haven’t been bored yet. 1) Contact my friends from all over the world. 2) Research 3) News 4) Website Design/Development 5) Readings 6) Entertainment (both video and audio) Although internet cost a lot of money, I find enough to do on the internet that I don’t want to save the money.

Pharoah 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 The internet is a pretty good entertainment investment! Here are some of the cooler things I have found:Wikipedia - if you ever have a little question about anything, you can just go look it up in 3 secondsTV shows - You can watch some TV shows online. All the episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, for example, are there!Forums - Duh!But the best thing about the internet, is that no matter how wierd your interest is (like Old computers or Xtal radio for example) you can find lots of stuff about it! This way you can read more than you want to about a topic, get sick of it, and move on to having a life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Green Tea 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 It does get a little bit boring sometimes. but most of the time, for me, it's just E-mail, Myspace, check out your own site, play a few cheesy games and get off. or, if you really have nothing to do, go to Youtube. that site'll probably keep you entertained enough for a few hours.
