I mainly think that people use it for fun. About 10% of the people with internet only uses it for education. The remaining 90% is for games. Right?

I used to play a lot of games online but now most of the time is spent working and hanging out at myLot. I know a lot of younger people play RPG games online but with the PS2 and PS3 (and other gaming platforms) having the abiltiy to play online against other people, more are opting to use their game consoles instead of computers. There's more than just playing games or education to choose from; I use it to look up phone numbers, online shopping, instant messenger programs, downloading music and reading my friends blogs.

I think people mostly use it for recreational purposes. I mean sometimes people work online, sometimes they have to research things, but they mostly use it for fun purposes such as emailing, talking on forums or other tasks that aren't at all related to work or education.

Yes, I agree with you. Most of the people using the internet are into games. Some are using it to chat. About of the same population, use the net for educational purposes. The students and researchers avail of the net to make their work faster and easier. Now, sorts of businesses are into the net, too. But none shall ever come close to the number of the gamers online.

I do not use it for fun. I use it to educate myself and as an avenue to make money.

I think most people whop have computers in their homes, use them for fun mainly. I bought my computer so I could try to earn online. Every now and then I have a little fun with it and go play a game or something. Sometimes I even look things up that I need to know something about. I think it is great to earn online and pay for your internet service and also have extra cash to spend for other things you want or need too.
