Why do you go online everyday? Can you go crazy if there is no internet access for you? The most common reasons consumers access the Internet are for email and search? Or they are just here to get more internet money? Now I can more and more younger and even kids have started go online than other demographics. I’m not surprised to see my 11 years old niece online almost everyday to surf more music, visit chat rooms or use social networks more. For me, I go online everyday for blogging, online + window shopping, Mylot, online banking... The list never end. How about you? Pen down your thoughts and share please.

Hi vingyan There are so many reason why I go online. I can feel confuse and feel something wrong if I'm not online everyday, but in my holiday last month, I can survive without internet! Hehehe.. You're right, the list never end! I go online for my college assignment, for money, surf for music, music piece or for nice pics to be added to my album or to my paper assigment. Sometimes I see new product or some review, new opportunities, books and of course, I open facebook to know how's my friends doing, greet them, that's nice!

Yeah, true enough, now people not only online with laptop or desktop at home, people go for cell phone online as well. Some will sign up for unlimited broadband service so they can online any time and any where they like. Some of my friends use Iphone to upload photo at Facebook, update their status at FAcebook as well.

That's right, nowadays many people start to depend on the internet, that's why BlakBerry, iPhone, etc created, to make people can online everytime, check their investment, dollars rate, etc. Well, I don't know this is good or not, but so many people use it, and internet is just like other world,,hehehe One of my friend say, those who always look at their screen phone and type someting online looks like the one with autism..involved so deeply in their online world But for me, as long as it can help us gain information and we can use time online and offline wisely, it is not a problem then..

I go online everyday to do blogging, work on my blogs - post articles, tweak the design and visit other blogs, I also do my fair share of dropping entrecards and adgitize. In between my blog updating, I do online games like RAN online and those addictive Facebook apps, I don't usually hangout at Facebook to chat with friends, I go to Facebook to play *lol*, my favorites are Mafia Wars, Pet Society, Restaurant City, among others. As of this day, I plan to add Mylotting to my daily online chores,hope it works well *smiles*. Actually, I can live without internet if I am to use it personally but as we own a small internet cafe, going online is our business, so I might go loco without an internet connection for a long time as it will mean less or no income for us.

I think I will NOT go crazy if I don't get my internet for 5 mins! I got to know from the recent radio program that one guy call in to say he don't have internet connection at home.. not even the dial up.. he survived his days with his diary, newspaper and SMS chats with his girlfriend. I really salute him for doing this. I got to go online, as I work from home, and I will have much depend on the internet line to get myself connected with the office server. I will also need to get myself occupy with my blogs, my banking history and others. I try not to go online while I travel, but sometimes, I will just have to go online to update my status in FB. I will hop into the cafe just to have a short time touch with the computer and internet.

Hello Cwong! Thanks for your response. So will you go crazy if you don't get internet for 5 hours perhaps for 50 hours?? There are still many people who don't use up the technology things like internet. But it is hardly see it at younger people. Now kids too started to online at early age. Even seniors too get to online to catch up with the modern technology. But my mom still do nothing online. She sometimes get so blur to see me laugh at the laptop, and get blur how I can earn money online and she gets blur when I can buy somethings online too! LOl. But she gets excited when the mail man comes to delivers the stuff I bought online, LOL. I can see many friends HOOK at FAcebook. They like to update their current status in FAcebook. Though they are away from home or go for travel, they still do the same, Update their status when ever they want.

Hi Cwong, Your mom is so so cute, maybe you should let her touch your laptop and teach her how to surf net. Does your mom likes Mahjong, perhaps you can get an mahjong online games for her to try. LOL. My mom don't bother what I do in the internet. I think she never see my blog before. For those aunty and uncle, I think they prefer to watch television or drama . Astro should be their favorite!

With the internet, I can do a lot of things here. Normally I will browse the headline news that make me get close to the world, what is going on here so that I will have the topic with my friends; Secondly, I will go to some games on the net to spend the time if I felf very bored that day; Now one more task for me is to get on mylot to gain the supplementary money here. I really can not stand that computor disappears from my life. If the night is without electricity that day, I will feel empty as I wonder what I can do to spend the time without a computor. LOL.

I go on line every day for business, and for pleasure. I have a business website and a blog attached to it to be able to keep in touch with my clients, and then I have places like myLot where I love to chat and help others. I consider this to be pleasure more than business even though I do get paid a little for doing it. I have another reason also - shopping and research for products and merchants I am interested in buy from. There are quite a lot of useful things that can be done on line.. - Derek

Hi Thanks for your response. Nowadays people likes to set up their business online. It is a good way to promote your service or products. You just stay at office or at home then everything can be done for this business. People have their website and blogs to promotes their stuff. I like shopping online too. But of course I will window shopping and searching around before I buy anythings. Yes, Mylot is a great place for socialization and not all people treat it as a business or making money on it. Some will come Mylot just for fun of it.

I go online everyday for the same reason as you. I respond to discussion here in mylot then I go and check on a few of my websites and affiliate programs. I also shop from ebay a lot. I also listen to music download some FREE pictures and communicate with all my friends in facebook, myspace and orkut. I don't think I would get crazy if I didn't have Internet access as I was perfectly fine when I didn't have it.

Hi there Glad to see your response here! Yeah, people now love to earn online. This is what they can do at home and get some extra pocket money. We will not miss out to communicate with others on the internet, be it a real life friends or online friends. Now I can see many of my friends not only online at home or work place. They like to use their cell phone to go online, check mails, facebooking, msn and many more.

Hi, Vingyan! Yes, I can go crazy without internet. I must check my daily emails and since I am now depending on making money online, I must go online everyday. Even when I have a full time job before, I would always go online and those extra cash became in handy. I have managed to go for holidays and bought some Christmas gifts. However, it's not all about money when I go online. I am also a blogger and apart from searching for infos, I also use the internet for other purposes such as online banking like you, online shopping, youtube-ing, Facebook-ing, watching movies and of course, myLotting.

hi Corry, Thanks for your response. You are very addicted in the internet. Of course we know you are not online just for making money. Maybe at the beginning we think of how much want t earn or how we going to earn. But when we go online, definetely there are some other things that attract us. When I want to do more in Mylot, I will then get bored and keep disturb by MSN friends. LOL

I dont know why, just dont do it. I don't download music or movies neither. Maybe I'll do more of that next time, when I have the time. :)

Hi Submerryn, Thanks for your response. I could not see you at Mylot for quite some times already. You must be busy with your own works or perhaps you too busy blogging. Some people likes online banking as it is really very fast and convenience . For those who worry their money will gone in the internet, so they don't trust online banking. Do you like online shopping? People who don't trust online banking should have no interest in online shopping as well. As they don't want their banking information or credit card to be expose in the internet. What about online booking, likes air tickets, hotel rooms and etc..

For me, I often go online for gaining the latest news about the Internet, blogging, making money online, email and so on. As you have said above, your kids spend lots of time online. But I don't think it is a serious problem. At first, as we all konw, the Internet is becoming more and more important and almost all people can't live a better life without it; Secondly, I have remrebered that I was also online almost everyday when I was just 10 years old, so it is common for kids to surf the Internet. In total, don't worry about it and everything will goes well.

Hi Getbrowser, Thanks for your response. No doubt internet has become more and more popular or I should say it is very important now. We not only online for personal things, but we do also online for studying, and some of the job requires you to go online as well. Kids now also start using internet at very early age. Preschool now have this computer education for kids as well. They start to have computer lessons from 3 years old onwards.

Hello. Computer and internet have become indispensible for many people, and for me too. Most of my communications, business and personal, are through emails these days. And, a lot of my business research work is done on the internet using various search engines. And, I also spend a lot of time visiting business websites every day. Mylot is one of my favorite places to come on to every evening after I get back home from work.

Hello Greenline, Thanks for sharing here. Glad that you still can myloting after your work! Yeah, people online everyday and it has become a part of our life. Most people like to go online to socialize. No surprise there, where it would be Facebook if that wasn’t true? Some go online just to become part of a community. What can you say about it? Maybe a constant feeling of people to be included in some group, or self esteem issues? a lot of youths go online just to play games. Seniors go online to be a part of an online community. I’m not sure which age represents “seniors” but it is a great thing that elders are always trying to catch up with technology. There are many old folks and retired person online around to earn online money too!

I go online to try and earn some extra money and to do research or maybe talk to friends or something like that. I also use the internet a lot to find new music or listen to music that I don't have on my ipod or cd's.

Hello Fishpool, It is good you found a rading hobby online. Is it free to read novels online? I never come across any website for reading novels. I think my sister will sure like it because she loves to read novels too. Every night she lies on her bed to read those thick novels. It is for sure not my cup of tea. LOL.

Hello Jhelaichie, No worry my friend, give your response no very the length, ! I am so annoy today, don't know what is wrong, the connection isn't any problem but I just see the Mylot website is HANG! I take so much time to post just a single response. So if the internet is going to OFF for me, I think I will go crazy. Now we can see getting online everyday is so important. Men, women, youths and seniors could choose to go online. More ever kids from very young age has started to go online. Seniors go online to be a part of an online community too. I’m not sure which age represents “seniors” but it is a great thing that elders are always trying to catch up with technology.

Hello Mississ, Thanks for your response! People go online to socialize, do business , or shop. There are people go online just to become part of a community. But I think more men than women go online to do business. Women are much more likely to go online to socialize than men . Do you agree a majority of youths go online to just to play games.

Hello Gtazok, Thanks for your response. You are so right, there are a lot entertaiment we can get online, musics, video and more. There are many things we can do from internet . It is good you can use online website to search for a job, make it more hassle and faster. But for me, I never get to search a job online.
