Many of us are heavy internet users. That's why we are here at Mylot, its because that we are fond of being online and using the internet. But each of us has our own purpose why we go online everyday. Using mylot would be a common answer but other than mylot, what are your activities online? Are you a heavy user of the internet? In an average how much time do you spend online?
I myself is a heavy user of the internet. Aside from posting here at Mylot, I am also a blogger. I have four blogs as of now and I try to update it as much as possible. I am not a really good blogger I am just trying to be a blogger and believing that I would earn a little from it. Aside from that I am also an avid facebook user. It is part of my routine too. A day will not pass without me checking it. On an average I think I am using the internet for 8 hours a day.
So how about you mylotters, what are your activities online? Are you a heavy user of the internet?

hi red_amethyst,
Yes, I am a heavy user of the internet. I turn on my pc every 3:30am to start my encoding online. And if the server I am working with has some problems or is very slow, I sign in here and post some discussions or respond to post. After my encoding job, I try again to look if there are certain discussion which I can answer. And if I have found none, I just do a minute study in a foreign language. I turn off my pc every 12pm to eat my lunch. I go back again at 4 or 5pm. And then I will go to mylot again to check for the discussions. After that, I do some articles on bukisa or triond. Once I am finish with that, I study again and update my blog. I am also always online in facebook just to chat with my friends there. And I give also extra time chatting with my friends in gtalk,skype, yahooo or msn. Then I go back to my encoding job from 8p to 11pm. Well, that is how long I usually use my computer. I try to use it in very useful way in which I can learn and earn.

I think I am a heavy user of the internet because I use it most of the day till night time. That is in number of hours. But if you consider bandwidth, I definitely couldn't be counted that much because I'm just here mostly for emails, mylot and a relatively small amount of games.
On the other hand, my brothers are the real super heavy users of the internet. They could stay on it the whole day resting only for meals and washroom time. They'd download, streamline and do games 24/7. Heavy hours plus heavy bandwidth usage.

I guess I am a heavy internet user by many standards. First of all, unlike other users in my country, I don't simply check my mail and social networking accounts and log off. I am always downloading new songs, movies, games and stuff for my gadgets. While browsing web sites, I make it a point to not only check my usual accounts, but also to check sites like Neobux, myLot, etc. everyday.
Also I periodically check sites like College Humor, YouTube, Megavideo, etc. I always prefer an unlimited plan due to this.
Regards,
AJ-Rox

Hello ajrox,
It's nice that your unlimited plan is very useful and it's worth the money paying the internet provider compared to the time you are using it.
happy mylotting!

Oh definitely. I use the internet for more than 70 percent of the time I'm awake. Mostly I just browse, then make some money online, facebook a little etc.

yes I use the Internet a lot and when I say a lot I mean a lot. I grew Facebook everyday spent a long time in there. I also love to go to YouTube and mess around with the videos. I also create videos which are mostly special effects and a fon to make. So yeah, I would consider myself a heavy Internet user

Hello fertogo, wow you do some videos to upload to youtube? I don't really do it because plenty of my time is already spent at facebook, mylot and some other forums. Maybe in the future I can try making my own videos and upload it at youtube.
happy mylotting.

I am a heavy internet user on my cellphone but not on my laptop. I am constantly on the internet on my phone using facebook, foursquare, checking tmz, checking cnn, etc. My phone is attached to my hip because it is like my personal computer. I don't care what anybody thinks, I need my phone. I went to a movie premiere where I couldn't bring my phone and I was having withdrawals because I wanted to check my facebook. Addicted, most definitely.

Hello red amethyst.
While I agree that most of us use the internet, what makes one a "heavy user" ?. Some of us did start earning online but others although not interested or non believers of online earnings still use the internet very much and often.
I wasn't really into bloggs but did write a few myself. My main activities are online earning, promoting different stuff, buying and playing online.

Oh, yeah... I am always in front of the computer before I work, while at work, and after work....
I became a computer addict. Now, I can't imagine my life without having computers and internet. hahaha...

We are genealogists and use the internet every day in our searches. We also have a web page and several e-mail accounts, I'd say we are heavy users.

I am a pretty heavy internet user. Not only to try and find some money online but also to download things, my usage is only limited to my internet connection as it is pretty slow compared to other people in other countries.
I usually download music, movies, e-books, and also for my studies which I use the internet to do my research. On networking sites however, I am not too fond of those things although I do use it from time to time. Its just to reconnect my old friends in highschool before

i can say that i am a heavy user of the internet. i usually spend 8-15 hours in front of the computer (with break in between). i read blogs, post status and comments in facebook, use twitter and tumblr, watch videos in youtube or read articles in the internet. now, i'm new in myLot and i think this is a good break for me. aside from earning money by participating in discussions, at least i can also learn from other people's opinion.

I work from home. So yes I am. Any spare time I have is spent on it, after taking care of my son. I use Facebook too. Trying not to as often as I did months back. It can be a bit addicting.

Hi Red,
When I wake up in the morning one of the first things I do is switch on my laptop to check the news, new emails, notifications from myLot, etc. Most of the time I'm on my other online earning activities, and this site. I do have an account at FB but I'm not very active there, I maintain it to be able to connect with friends who are otherwise difficult to find . At work, I manage to check my preferred websites (like myLot) from time to time. When I get home again it's my laptop that gets attention first (after my family of course) and I only part with it when I go to sleep. On the average, I am on the net for about 12hrs a day. So, am I a heavy internet user? You be the judge

I would definitely have to say I am a very heavy internet user! Sometimes I will lose internet, if I do, I don't even touch my computer until it comes back on. That's really the only reason I use it! I try to get on before I go to school in the mornings, then after that when I get home at about 4 PM, I am on it until about 12 AM to 1 AM... I even dream about the internet! I use it every single day, and if I don't get to check my facebook, I twitch, literally. I also use triond, this site (:, and paypal of course. I also play a lot of games, and download a ton of music! I am on the internet about 7 or 8 hours a day.
