So glad to be connected to the world. Almost every household I know has either a desktop, laptop, i-touch, i-phone or some type of latest technology to connected to the web. I don't even remember how life was before the explosion of the internet. What is the first thing you do when you are connected to the internet? Do you check your e-mail? Go on social network? Chat with your friends on twitter? Let me know. I'll love to hear your answers. ;)

Hi DarthJustice, Haha. Me too. ;) That the first thing I do when I wake up, checked e-mail to see if I got any messages. Sometimes, I ended up checking my e-mail 5 times during the day.

Facebook Facebook Facebook(: I usually have it as my home page because its no doubt always what I want to check first. Then I usually go on mylot or other site I use to try and make a little extra spending money. I also sometimes go straight to filling out online applications. And if I have time, I might do some homework lol

I come from the era when the Internet was more like 'Email 2.0.' So the first thing anyone did (or still does, I don't know) was 'get an email-account.' Or do you mean 'the first thing we do everyday when we log on to the Internet'? In that case, you're looking at it! I open my browser, go straight to my "unresolved discussions," and check the oldest ones first to see if anyone has finally answered any of those! After I've 'resolved' all the unresolveds I can, then I start a "new discussion." After that I back-&-forth between 'joining others' discussions' and 'answering responses on my started-discussions.' Then after a few hours, I check my email to see-if there are any further responses on other members' discussions I've responded-to and -if there are any myLot hot-newsletter discussions I can join.

hi jufi808, The first thing I do whenever I get connected to the internet is go to the site where I am working. Well,usually work with eyes half open because it begins 3:30 am . Anyway, I also signed in to my different messengers so in case a friend want to tell something important, they can catch me online

First of all, I have to say that the first thing that I do when I get out of bed in the morning is to turn on the computer and then I will go to the bathroom. So after I get done in the bathroom, I will load my email and then go through all of the emails that I have received during the course of the night. Then after that I will start messing around with facebook, mylot, scrapbooking and all of the other things that I use to fill up my time.

Hi Jufi, The first I do is to check on my email and see official and personal messages. Then I check mylot notification and from there work on my responses for my friends discussions and comments to my previous responses. I love surfing the web on lots of things. So, mylot web search is so friendly to help me out with my surfing and still earn from it. I also check my facebook, chat and watch some video on youtube!

Everytime I get my PC connected to the internet, I usually open my yahoo account & read all emails in the inbox. After that, I log in to facebook and mylot at the same time. I also watch videos in youtube & visit some paying site I've joined for extra income.

the first thing I do when I connected it is probably go to Facebook. Then I check if there's any new videos on YouTube. And after that I check my e-mail. Then I just mess around various websites.

internet is already a part of our lives now. and for me, my day won't be complete without the internet. the first thing i do when i get connected to the internet is to check for messages in my email program. from there, i get to know how many mylot notifications of new discussions my friends have started. so, from that email program, i go to mylot and read the new discussions and response to them if i can relate to the discussion or i have something to add to the responses.

Hi, It is becoming harder to remember life before internet. I do not know what I would do without it anymore. The first thing I check is my email and my messenger, my work schedule to pick up more shifts and then facebook where i talk with friends and play games. I do not by choice have a smart phone or blackberry or anything like that, but our household has 6 computers in total for personal and work.

I always log into my email first, just scan through the emails and open any that are really important or interesting. Next I log onto Facebook. I've started reading Bible each morning online, so I will usually do that next. After Facebook and reading Bible I will usually go back to my email...
