Ok, here are my answers.<br><br><br>1 - I'm 20.<br><br>2 - Honestly? Porn.<br><br>3 - Because it's all you ever hear from the media.<br><br>4 - I use the internet mainly for keeping in touch with my various friends, and my favourite comics. That and porn <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I decided to replace the term porn with entertainment so as not to get questioned about what I do on the internet myself.

<br>1. 20<br>2. Entertainment<br>3. Saw a similar survey once<br>4. Research

Depending on the demographic in question, the most common use can be anything from the porn via socialising and information gathering/research (both personal and professional) to shopping. It all depends on the demographic. And no, I don't buy the stereotype that the majority of people who use the internet are within a certain demographic, either. It's just that the majority of those who use it for social purposes (ie the majority of those who are noticed using it) are within a certain demographic.<br><br>I most use it for socialisation purposes, though looking at artwork and shopping are also fairly common uses for me. In addition being a college student studying computing (software developement) there's the obvious accademic uses of it as well.<br><br>[And I also believe that you wouldn't be worried about people accusing you of using it for porn if you didn't use it for porn <!--emo&:mischief:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... schief.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mischief.gif' /><!--endemo--> ]<br><br>((In addition, you do realise that this by definition is a flawed survey, right? I mean, it's a self selecting sample which isn't likely to even be balanced in terms of demographics))

[Dr. Doog]

yeah, well so is the one where my two best friends asked all the girls in our grade (and me too because I felt like filling it out) what they found hot about guys. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

1. 20<br>2. "Entertainment"<br>3. It's kinda a running gag.<br>4. Webcomics, forums, IRC, and reading news.

[VisibilityMissing]

I am 32.<br><br>I think that most people used the internet to forward junk mail around.<br><br>Because I keep having to delete said junk mail.<br><br>I use the internet as a news source, a reference source, and as a communication system.

1. 19<br><br>2. Honestly? Probably chatting and IM. IM counts as internet, right?<br><br>3. It's what everyone seems to spend the most time doing around here.<br><br>4. Forums, forums, and more forums, and checking up on my favorite comics and artists.

[DesertFoxCat]

1. 16 (Waaah! I want my bottle!)<br><br>2. Chatting and downloading music<br><br>3. That's what my sister does, and she's the closest I got to a normal person.<br><br>4.Forums, art, and news

[Dr. Doog]

hey, I'm <i>14</i>. TRYIN' TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD!?

[Burning Sheep Productions]

1. 16.<br><br>2. Communication and entertainment.<br><br>3. I see the majority of my friends use it for that.<br><br>4. Communication and entertainment.
