I have become so addicted to the internet recently that if one day if my net isn't working I go nuts!!. I feel lonely,bored and so restless, like I would for my boy friend if he din't meet me sometimes.I dont feel like sleeping and go on trying if once, even for five minutes my internet gets connected. I try learning commands fro 3DMax and other designing softwares from the tutorials available on net, I read book reviews,news and read about people and country.I look out for pictures of people,culture,places and traditional dance...and lots more, I chat very little though. What is that which attracts you to the internet and makes you sick if you can't access it.What do you prefer using it for when you have time for yourself.

me!! what attracts me basically is the unlimited access of any datas on any subject and which is available to all. I have only started to do an in dept study into how the www.XXX.com works and its interesting. Writing articles for some sites and on my blogs have just given me an extra knowledge about lots of diferent subjects that i was'nt familiar with before. I have not being into gaming but planning to do a study on that too later. Since lately, i am busy with some day works, i have'nt been all that active. Internet is here to stay and it has definitely make the world smaller and this is what we call globalization".

The wealth of information. I started using the internet first from the email. It is the pleasure of receiving and replying emails from a friend and with the accompanying links in the email, I venture into the unknown world then. I do not use the internet to chat and it is rather disruptive and a source of distraction for me. Now, I have learnt to live without the internet. LOL.

I use the Internet for almost everything. I'm on it for over 4 hours a day. I like it because it's the most anonymous way to talk to each other today, especially sites like '4chan'. I also like the fact that information sharing is so easy now. Another thing that attracts me is Gaming. Gaming over the Internet is loads of fun ^^

Aside from meeting some terrific friends through the internet, I use it to learn. I love learning new things and the internet is certainly the way to go since it has just about anything you could possibly want to learn about. I'm disabled and cannot do a lot of the things I used to love doing or can't do them nearly as much as I used to. Learning is the one thing I've always loved doing that I can still do, but going to the library isn't much of an option these days, so the internet is my "library". I also earn a few dollars here and that's always nice but the greatest thing I can think of about the internet is all the information there is to be found on it. I also keep in touch with my two sons via the internet because they're rarely available by telephone, but I can always count on them both being on the internet at least once a day. I think the internet has become as invaluable as automobiles. Most of use need both in order to survive these days.

I am really amazed hearing about you. Dear friend thanks to the net that you are connected to your sons.You are a fighter and you haven't lost your hope and are persuing in the search for knowledge.Its good to hear that you are earning here. Actually if a person can earn for himself then he has a support. You are right when you say that automobile and internet are really necessary for surviving...... Wishing you loads of luck.... !!!

Well it looks to me like we're both addicted to the internet. lol! I might get sick too without it. Well i got tired of chatting because i had too much of it years ago. I was crazy and was trying all kinds of platforms to chat. Right now i'm busy downloading some stuffs like movies and music. I feel like i'm not getting my money's worth if i'm not downloading something. Well aside from downloading, i read the news and do some social networking. Just a little.

Indeed, chatting on internet has no attraction to me, but I prefer playing pc games. I always start to play game around 10 minutes after opening computer since I don't know what should i do ? Now, if I just have few free time , I will post several posts on mylot, if I have many free time on internet, playing games will be the best and unique choice for me.

So you are into playing games, cool! But you will agree that MyLot really has given us ample of space to take out our hidden caliber of writing something instantly and giving our suggestions to others too. I have seen some MyLotians who don't write proper english but its great to see them writting some posts.

I like all the people I meet on the internet, even if I never meet them in real life. I also love all the survey opportunities and the opportunities on sites like this one (the conversation and the pocket change). I don't get sick when it goes down, but it is sometimes a frustration when I go to do something that I need or really want to do and then I have no service.

I'm not really sure what attracts me to the internet so much. I guess being able to do a lot of things and meet a lot of people that I otherwise would not be able to do. I guess also all the interesting things I can learn about also. When I am online, one of my favorite things to do is visit the website YouTube. That's easily one of, if not the, my favorite websites. Whenever I'm online (at least when I had sound on my current computer) I spent a lot of time on YouTube. I enjoyed watching videos about other people's lives (vlogs) and watching people share experiences about things they go through or have been through. Like, for example, a while back I found this channel on the YouTube. This particular guy had made several videos talking about his experiences being in a psychiatric ward several times such as what he went through while in there and how/why he was committed the third time and the process leading up to being placed in a psychiatric ward. The guy has unfortunately closed his account recently though. I guess that's a big part of what attracts me to the internet. As I said, I love hearing and reading about things that interest me.

I do everything on it, from learning and stumbling on stumble upon, to making money and ebay, to entertainment. Without the internet I am a lost soul haha not really. But I love it so much I would choose it over television any day. I get much more from the internet and there is no channels that are never not on. But I don't chat though. I find no point in it.
