Title: The Internet (your partcipation needed)
Post by: =[Euthanasia]= on December 09, 2002, 04:55:54 AM
I don't really know where this topic belongs but I figured since this is where the more serious heads come this is where i'd get the best answers.

I've got to hand in a portfolio task for my Cultural Topics module after christmas and the subject matter I chose is to investigate people's use of the internet. I just need some answers (you can go into as much or as little detail as you like) to the following questions;

1) How do you access the internet?

a) through my PC
b) through a computer at work/school
c) through an internet cafe
d) other (give details)
e) all of the above

1) For what general purpose/s do you use the internet;

a) entertainment and/or news (music, movies etc)
b) business and/or education purposes (research source etc)
c) communication (e-mail, IM, forums etc)
d) other (give a reason)
e) all of the above

2) How many hours a week do you spend using the internet;

a) 1-2
b) 4-6
c) 8-10
d) 12-14
e) 16+

3) What do you feel are the advantages and/or disadvantages of the internet? (give details).
4) Have you ever had any negative experiences with the internet? (If so give details).

Thats the only questions I have so far, i'll add more if I think of any, feel free to add some too.

A lot of info that can be found rather quickly but there is a lot of bullshit on here.  The internet is great for entertainment (sports, music, etc.) and news.  

4) Have you ever had any negative experiences with the internet? (If so give details).

Not any that I can think of.

1.) Through my computer
2.) A,B,C
3.) 16 plus
4.) Advantages: Allows you to cater entertaiment to your needs. I.E. With TV you have to accept a certian program, but with the internet, you can find out about things YOU want to.
Disadvantages: Still not as widespread as it could be. Limited to a select few with access to computers. Technology is not always perfect.
5.) Infinite

Its the ultimate resource for information and entertainment.  You can watch movies, check sports, play games, get the news, research stuff, you can get almost anything on here.  
Disadvantages-  You can get viruses off the net which could delete a lot of important data on ones computer

4) Have you ever had any negative experiences with the internet? (If so give details).
