Uses of Internet :
1) To find general information about a subject :: The Web is like a huge encyclopedia of information - in some ways it's even better. The volume of information you'll find on the Web is amazing. For every topic that you've ever wondered about, there's bound to be someone who's written a Web page about it. The Web offers many different perspectives on a single topic.
2) To access information not easily available elsewhere One of the great things about the Web is that it puts information into your hands that you might otherwise have to pay for or find out by less convenient means.
3) To correspond with faraway friends Email offers a cheap and easy alternative to traditional methods of correspondence. It's faster and easier than writing snail mail and cheaper than using the telephone. Of course, there are disadvantages too. It's not as personal as a handwritten letter - and not as reliable either
4) To meet people : The Web is generally a very friendly place. People love getting email from strangers, and friendships are quick to form from casual correspondence. The "impersonal" aspect of email tends to encourage people to reveal surprisingly personal things about themselves. When you know you will never have to meet someone face-to-face, you may find it easier to tell them your darkest secrets.
5) To discuss their interests with like-minded people :: Did you think you were alonein your obsession with a singer, TV programme, author, hobby? Chances are there's and Internet group for people like you, discussing every little detail of your obsession right now.
6) To have fun : There's no doubt that the Internet is a fun place to be. There's plenty to keep you occupied on a rainy day.
7) To learn : Online distance education courses can give you an opportunity to gain a qualification over the Internet.
