OK I want to know what all you use the internet for. I use the internet to play games, order things for my business, search for answers to questions, and the little things like mylot, myspace, and music, movies, whatnot. I dont use it for banking, and not many times have i used it for buying household items. I know that some thinks its cheaper, but when you add shipping and handling its really not cheaper. So what do you use the internet for?

I have internet for the purpose for nothin...just curious about new technology.But it helps a lot to communicate my family to other country.Since calling is very expensive...so I think its better to chat.

I love being in the Internet. It has a lot of use in my life since I learn about it. When I was still in school, it's been the most usable resources for me. Until I graduate I am thankful that still Internet does exist. hehehe.. What I usually do is surf, blog, myLot, watch videos, and a whole lot more..

I use the internet for my online business, ordering goods and clothes for me and my daughter and make up sometimes. Researching and reading the news, I use it for online banking and checking up on what goes in the account and what comes out. I use it for a lot of things really.

I use Internet for gaming, downloading music, software and application that I need for my computer. I also use it for visiting sites like mylot, friendster, multiply, filipinaca and other stuff. Sometimes I just browse articles about my favorite series or watch some nice video clips from YOUTUBE. Oh, I use it to chat to communicate with my friends and relatives. Cheers!

I've been online since early 1991. I play games like slots, poker, and Pogo ever so often. I use it mostly to just play around the various sites to learn various things about gardening and opther countries cultures. Now for the past 14 months or so I have used it as a stress relief andf mostly myLotting. Gawddd I love this site. My wife is the one that handles the bills etc and she refuses to do her banking and bill paying via the internet. I use it to deposit my earnings into the bank though. I also use it to purchase things online like tickets and games etc. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

yea my fiance does the banking and for some reason he doesnt like to do it online, same with paying bills, i have a bill that could be paid online and they would get it much quicker but he said why not just send a check. I guess its giving out the information on your card.

I use the internet to earn some extra cash. I also use it for my school work because most of my classes for now are online. I also use it to "window shop" and to actually buy stuff online. I use it to play games and I really don't know what else.

Hmmmm lets see!! I use the Internet for a number of things. My college online classes, I am a nursing major so this is required. I use it to check my bank online and keep track of my statements and my money. I use it to download music and learn new and exciting things. I use it to earn money and meet new people, such as mylot and ,myspace. I use the internet to stay connected to my family and friends though chat rooms, or messengers. I use it to download pictures and upload pics that i ahve taken with my camera and phone. To pay bills online cause it saves me from driving (High gas prices).

I write my blog in sohu.That is my private place,and I like to write.I often look for some questions by"BaiDu",and I could find a satisfying anwsers there.It's the favarite use,I think.When I feel bored ,I'll watch movie on "Tudou",and I could send my time.Also,I could have a chat with my friends throug the QQ .MSN and E-mail.When I want to buy a thing,I would look it on the internet first and compare the price-------It's a good one.I like .

i would be lost without the internet. first of all i hate talking on the phone and rarely have time to anyway but i love to keep in touch with family and friends so i love email. i love the ease and convenience of paying my bills online and doing my banking online too. i do surveys and product testing online which brings in extra income and i research anything and everything i want to know something about. i also use it to send complaints to companies i do business with rather than deal with their ridiculous employees that they outsource their work to. i would rather be without my car than the internet.

I use the internet for email, making money, writing, blogging, sometimes shopping, Mylot of course, banking. My husband just plays games but I don't have time for them because I write articles for pay and I blog for pay. Shopping can be cheaper online if you use My Power Mall. :)

i usually use the internet to check for emails, to connect with friends from far away places. next major use for me is i watch a lot of videos (anime, Japanese and Korean dramas, and a lot of movies) online. third would be, i use internet to download pictures and music. and then lastly, i use internet for myLot, friendster, and other social networks. i don't use the internet for shopping and banking purposes either.

I use it for email, for chatting for getting info. I do my banking online. I also shop online. I find that it is cheaper even when one considers shipping and handling. A few of the sites I use does not add any, or just a little bit.

I use the internet for revision. I use it to check my college website for updates that concern me. I also do my banking online as well as buying things. I am a member of some social networking websites as well as talking on forums. I use the internet to make a little extra money as well as pass the hours of boredom sometimes. I probably use it much more, but can't think of anything right about now.

I use internet for checking my emails, internet surfing to my favorite sites, checking/order things on ebay for the business that we recently started up, sometimes watching anime, trailers and movie online, downloading song, videos, manga chapters on the net, and also visiting and responding on mylot. :D
