I love being able to reach out to people all over the world, and make new friends. I love that I can learn about and research anything I want, on the internet. What's more, I love that I can actually get paid for doing most of what I do on the internet. One of my friends on Gather, for example, just had a baby boy on the 2nd of June. His baby pictures ae all up on her page, and I'm looking through them. I get points for commenting and raiting her pictures, and I can turn those points into cash. How awsome is that! It's so nice to actually make a few extra bucks for doing something I really enjoy. What do you love about the internet?

I like that information is at your fingertips. The ability to get into contact with people, regardless of where they are, is also great.

Hi, Since you do a lot of online shopping, I recommend that you join website that offer cash rebates when you shop through their website. You can earn $5 just for signing up at the website. You can get the website link at the second banner in my profile if you want. Thanks.

The internet just has so many advantages. Such as you can find many information via the net easily. That's so convenient. And the internet makes the world smaller. As you said, you can make friends all over the world. And internet can decrease the phone bills. We can have more entertainment since we have the internet. Today we can listen to music, watch movies/TV from internet. I love China

I love the access to information - learning sharing etc. I also love being able to be in contact with friends and family who live far away from me - quick notes to say hi, photos shared.. I like the games to play and the ability to earn online at times. I also like just reading what there is be it information thats factual or someone's poetry or stories.

gosh I don't think that I could live without the internet anymore, it has just become such an important part of my life. Even if I don't have it for a day or two I go through withdrawal symptoms lol.

Most of the time I find that the internet is relaxing for me. I can type or read or play a game and the time goes by and sometimes so quickly that I haven't realized it has gone as quickly as it has. I have also made some great friends online, and am so happy that I know them. Some I have had for friends for years, some I have actually met and some I have only just known and feel like I have known them for a long time. Recently, I have spent more time on instant message than I have in a long time, and it has been interesting. But I am not sure what I would be doing with all of my time with I was not on the internet.

This is a really good discussion,and I know the internet is really important when it comes to everyday life,and it seems almost everyone is on the internet for one reason or another,and I am sure there are some people who surf the internet because they like to do online shopping,and then I am sure there are people who surf the internet because they are trying to make money online,and then I am sure there are people who surf the net for other reasons,and I know that everyone has different opinions,and different preferences,and no two people think the same,so I can understand that everyone has their reasons for doing things,me and my fiance do surf the net a lot,and I would say the main reason is because we are trying to make money online since we can not find a job,and we are preparing for our wedding which is set for September of this year,and we also surf the net when need information on something like maybe an actor,and I surf the net for a walkthrough when I am stuck on a game,and am not sure what to do,or where to go,and we also surf the net sometimes to do online shopping,because it is easier to order online instead of going to a store,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

I use the internet in many different ways and there are a lot things that I love about it. I have many friends from other countries and the internet has made communication so much easier and faster. In the past it took 2 weeks to send a letter from Denmark to Australia or New Zealand, now we can commuciate via emails or chat together, and that it is great. I also love the fact that I am able to find all sorts of information online, and I enjoy studying and working online. I am an artist and I have an online gallery, a thing like that wasn't possible in the past, and I think it is great way to share my art with others. I often look at other people's galleries and I find it interesting to visit their online galleries.

Hi danish...I especially love the internet for the reason that I can do things from the comfort of my home or office. After all I am a working mother and have little time to shop and do other things like connect with people, which brings me to the point that you made. I have family and friends who don't live closeby and it's nice to see pictures of everyone and hear details every so often just because we're connected by the internet!

I love the Internet because it is one of the major breakthroughs in our technology. With the Internet, people all over the world are getting more easily connected compared when we only relied on telephones as a means of communication. Now we can e-mail, chat, and even get to know people on forums such as myLot. The Internet also bridges not only distance but also cultures. With the help of the Internet we could get to know the way of life of other people even without meeting them personally.

I think the best part of the Internet is that there are so much information and data available on the Internet. And best of all, they are right next to my finger tip with so much good search engines that make things much easier. And of course the finding of earning money just by posting comments and replying here makes me like the Internet more.

My reasons are the same as yours: connecting with people and meeting them, learning new things by doing research and reading news, and making money. Also discovering new music, movies, etc. There are a lot of sites such as MySpace, Pandora, etc. where you can listen to new songs in full, and sometimes download them for free also.

I also love to meet people from all over the World ,and is very nice to actually find out that we are all very similar regardless of where we live. Searching information is very exciting because we can acquire knowledge. Besides my lot I also participate in surveys and they pay me cash too for my opinions. In other words, I love love the Internet.

Whats not to like about the net, we can earn some nice pocket change on the net, we can play free games on the net we can chat with our friends and family on the net, we can even watch free TV, we can use paypal to get instant cash we can download our favorite songs on the net we can pay bills if we choose on the net, we can shop on the net, we can learn on the net, and in a few years theres no telling what else we will be able to do the only thing negative I can say about the net is we just have to be careful of identity theft and viruses such as spyware, but other then that the net rocks.

I love the internet because it's very unique. It's an awesome experience to talk to people from afar. It's also cool that you can upload files, share opinions, meet people, talk to people, all that without leaving the comfort of your own home. I like the fact that I can make money online too as well and I like the fact that I can talk freely on myLot, here. There are so many possibilities with this cool technology! My favorite part of the internet is Youtube, lol.
