Hi, I'd be interested to know what frustrates you most about the Internet. It could be a website, connection speed, and pretty much anything else. Here's my answer: The thing that frustrates me the most about the Internet is the people who use it in a harmful way, such as hacking of posting illegal content online. I think it's these people who really spoil the pleasure of Internet, by making users get a bad experience online. Also, what really frustrates me is some website's connection speed. See, when I'm in a hurry and I really need to load up, humm, lets say an email. Well it is really annoying to wait for the page to load slowly. It can stress you out... These are the two main things that frustrate me about the Internet in general. I hope to hear from you guys... Cheers,

What frustrates me the most about my computer is my internet is always a problem. It gets so I can't even get the internet sometimes and/or it kicks me out a lot and then I have trouble getting back in again. I thought it was a problem with my computer but just today I found out it wasn't my computer at all but my internet connection. The wires up on the pole got chewed by the squirrels, a problem here where I live, and so they had to change all the wires. So now today my computer is good and hopefully it will stay that way. Much easier working in mylot when I don't have to wait half an hour for my response to post. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

what frustrates me about the internet are the hackers. a friend of mine had been a victim of this. And also the fact that not all information that can be found in the internet are true.

I love the internet for the fact that it enables me to be that much closer to what's happening around the world and be inter-connected with people. I can't imagine how I can survive without the internet. What frustrates me most about this medium is the prevalence of scammers prowling around under the cover of anonymity. These people make our lives miserable, and disrupt what might otherwise be our pleasant experiences making connections, doing safe transactions and making a decent earning online. Their presence is an annoyance, and make us distrust people such that we always have to feel very guarded when interacting with others online, be it just socializing or doing business. Despite exercising great care and due diligence, I am still an occasional victim of scammers, and that is very frustrating for me indeed.

Slow connections,viruses,spyware and a limit on internet usage. Some pages takes minutes to load and finally displays that the page cannot be displayed . That's when I feel pissed off. Also the viruses are a great threat. Even having all kind of protection few viruses managed to ruin my comp and had to spend few bucks on that too.

viruses, spyware, maleware, and the fact that we really can't do anything about them. we can run anti-virus but eventually well have to keep updating or we will get infected. just the hassle that they can cause and how much they can mess everything up.

yeah, the thing that frustrate me more about Internet is my connection speed and my slow computer, it is really annoying when I want to something fast and it takes a lot of time in load, right now I had to disable showing pictures on my internet explorer because it was taking many time to load mylot, I hope get a better internet connection and a new computer soon that really would make me very happy, other thing that frustrates me about internet is people that just want to come online to play role games, I really don't like it because I am who I am, nothing more, so I always try to stay out of fantasies, and the people that I like to talk to is people that at lest have a web cam so i can see them. and they can't start making out things.

Hi Vicrep. The thing that frustrate most to me is a slow connection.. I hate when a page takes a century to load, I don't blame any webpages, but the connection.. At work I have optic fiber and I can surf any web that I want (with the proper tunnel of course) but at home the connection is incredibly slow with wireless..

What frustrates me the most is the bandwidth, I wish there were lots of it and it was available for free. Heck we even have to pay for water now a days so I guess this is too much to ask.

The most frustrating things about internet, if you do not have a broad band connection is the speed. Some pages do not open up at all. Others take for ever to open. If you want to enjoy your trip on the internet, a broad Band connection is a must.

The thing that frustrates me most about the internet is the fact that while looking in search engines, it's still hard sometimes to find exactly what you want, even if you use the correct key words and everything. It's like you wish some way you could connect the search engine to your brain haha. Imagine what you could find, there are so many things out there, just imagine, being able to make your thought number one on the list. Would save a lot of time.

Nice idea for a discussion. As for what I hate the most, it's kind of similar to the creator's. What I hate the most is the negative way that some people want to use the Internet. Although part of what I mean is a lot more basic than what you may think I mean. I hate it when people act rude, cruel, mean, jerky, etc. etc. to other people online. You know the type. The ones that act all high and mighty because they're behind a screen. Those people suck.
