    Varies daily. Taking a couple of college courses online. Boards to stay in touch with Ireland, as with IM and occasionally email. Have been on Google scholar beta a lot writing a paper for university. Don't read newspapers, so I get my news from the web too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭The guy


    Well you see the internet was made in the 70's and since I'm about 18 and then dial-up didn't really hit Ireland until 2003(or my house anyway) I would say about 14.285714% Give or take. ;)

    It's been changing a lot lately. Used to play some games but kinda gotten bored of that recently.

    These days i do a lot of things at once really.
    Poker, boards, online chess (yes belittle me if you want :p ), downloading torrents, studying for exams, researching things in work etc etc.

    Really no idea of %'s.

    In the last few weeks:
    Boards 60%
    E-mail 10%
    Youtube 20%
    Bebo/Facebook 10%

    Prior to that Bebo and YT took up nearly all my time on-line.

    PEDO!!!

    J/k :)

    Tho is your unknown site has rule's 1, 2 and 34 then the charge remains ;)

    Otherwise you can just admit to browsing linux.org

    Honestly?

    10% pronz
    50% gaming
    20% general browsing
    20% IRC

    If bebo can make up a huge percentage of your internet use, you just don't get the internet.

    Your deliberately dodgy maths aside, does nobody multitask anymore? I frequently watch legitimately downloaded vidjos while perusing boards etc. so my percentages would really add up to more than 100%.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 184 ✭✭burgess1


    Mostly Facebook, Bebo and MSN. Some school stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    Think I spend 70% of the time going through various forums, 10% on Ventrillo [on its own, or while browsing], 20% gaming.
