We all have computers but we use them for different reasons. Some use them for playing games, some for internet and many more options within the internet, others to write, other for business, others for some softwares, others for picture editing. The possibilities are endless! What do YOU use the computer for? Personally I use the computer for the internet. I do the paying sites, MySpace, yahoo, msn, myLot, CashPosting, SurfaceRipple -Teen Community, and many other websites. I also use the computer to chat with my friends via MSN Messenger and AIM. Please share with us what uses YOU have for your computer :-) P.S. Remember I comment all responses and rate them ALL +. Please return the favor lol.

I use computer for many purposes. Internet for mylot, orkut, yahoo, hotmail and for other wanted good sites. If I need any information, I will go to their site. Then it is for playing games. I love playing games. Then ofcourse, to do some correspondence work. Chatting will be done sometimes with relatives and friends but rarely.

Computers have to be taken seriously can be a earning member of the family with minimum maintenance. I use the computer in my part time to earn extra bucks working from home and am seriously thinking of a full time profession. Information of anything under the sun can be made available on the net.

Yes I agree with all the points you made here. This is pretty much why I quite playing online games, you just get addicted too easily. I have a very strong bond with my family and we talk and sit down at the table to eat etc. We also have regular family outings in restaurants and stuff. Never would I put off going out somewhere with my family of my friends just to be online, that is just an obsession. I agree that the time kids spend on the computer should be controlled. I think the large part of the blame is in the hand of the parents. They parents of these children should be more strict and not 'connect' their kids to the computer and video games to entertain them and not have to care for them. This is wrong and as parents they should do something about this. My mom is constantly telling me not to use the computer so much and to go outside to play etc. And I do, I ride bike and I go to the gym with my sister about 3 times a week :-D So yeah I am on the computer a lot but I still manage to maintain a healthy and social life style at the same time ;-) Thank you for your response :-) Rated +.

yep, it's cool. Anyway you can also do voice chats in MSN live messenger and yahoo. Just make sure you update them so that all the features are available. Skype is nice for voice chat, probably better, but worse for other things.

My favorite use for my computer, aside from surfing the net is for making designs for my scrapbooks and photo albums. I also like downloading music, games, images and movies. But mostly I used it to read my emails that came from my friends, newsletters and proposals.

You're welcome. So it seems that you're making banners too. I have heard lots of members using Photoshop for their banners, but I really dont know how to use it.. LOL I have a Photoshop program in my PC for so long now but I still dont know how it works (pitiful me.. Haha). I use Corel Photo Paint for my photos and for my banners. Thanks for the + by the way.. I'll be returning the favor.. B-)

My favorite use is configuration. I am just not happy with any of my many computers unless there is something to do on it. I am constantly swapping parts and playing with the operating system. Right now one computer is running Windows XP, one Gentoo Linux with dual monitors, one Kubuntu Linux, and the other is my file server which runs Red Hat. Every day at work I look forward to coming home and configuring one or two of my computers. I only wish there were more hours in the day so I could give each of them a turn.

I am like you, I am using my computer more for internet that for another thing, I like play games online, and using the messenger, I like watch videos on youtube and so on, I think I don't like much to do things offline, I prefer to do all online, I prefer to type in my text processor that to write in a paper, I think there is a lot of thinks you can do with a computer, and it depends of each person, some like mess online with games, another people like chat with unknown people, now I am trying to use my computer and connection to earn so money online, but I have find it is very hard starting, but I know some friend that they are doing good with them business online, I think it is the best of the computer, it can give you a lot of fun, and it can also feed you.
