How do you Use the Internet?

I posted this question eight or nine months ago and got no responses at all, Yet, this post seems to have been one of my most popular posts. Why?  Please help me out here. Use this as an opportunity to practice writing opinion comments, and post your comment to the question:

 HOW DO YOU USE THE INTERNET?

How often do you use it? What do you use it for? Do you mainly use it to play games, find friends?  Do you learn online, or shop?  Do you talk with friends and family with skype?  Do you watch TV shows, movies. the news or You Tube videos of your favourite singers via  the Internet instead of on TV?  Do you even own a television anymore? Do you use Internet radio stations rather than regular ones from your radio? How about social media, do you use the Internet to tap into Facebook, twitter or any other social media out there?   

The Internet has taken over our lives.Many people spend so much time on the Internet that they can't imagine what life was like before the Internet was created. For some it has become a serious addiction that threatens their marriage, just as alcohol or drug addiction does. 

What are YOUR thoughts on this big question and the smaller ones associated with it. 

This is your opportunity to practice some opinion writing on line.

How DO YOU use the Internet? 
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet?  Don't kid yourself, there are disadvantages.  Do you have any tips or suggestions to give other people who are addicted to the Internet, or do you think there is no such thing as being addicted to the Internet?

How do you use the Internet?

This is specifically for my students, but anyone else who reads this blog can contribute if they have something to say that is specifically about the topic.

I will be posting a number of "thinking questions" in order to help you practice writing short paragraphs. Of course, other people will see them,so pay attention to your grammar and spelling. Proofread before you send your comment. .

So here's the question.

How do you use the Internet? What do you do? How often? Why? Do you mainly use the Internet to play games, find friends, learn online, shop online…? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet? Do you have any tips and suggestions you would like to give others?

This is not a test, nor will I correct your writing. It is j ust an opportunity to have fun with responding to something,with some real content instead of just saying what you did today.
