I as well use it for gathering useful information like this one where I just found out that other people gather information as well so I'm not alone.
Well me personally , I spend 18 hours a day in front of computer, Not surfing, but doing my computer business jobs online.. however, When I go online on free time, I go for movies and music , software and games .
There are just so many things to discover and I don't think I can ever get bored easily. It's more like an addiction.
I use internet for learning purpose as well as earning purpose. Can't live without internet now as addicted I am not alone on this boat as most of us with me DON.
