What do people use the internet for?
Pretty much everything! Nowadays, there are countless apps at our fingertips to accomplish all of our tasks. For example, we use the internet to do research, pay our bills, find a dating match, go shopping, make phone calls, find jobs, chat with friends, find work out videos, etc. The better question would be what we don’t use the internet for nowadays. To be honest, I can’t think of any area of life where we don’t use the internet.
Would you say many people waste time "surfing the internet"?
For sure! Nowadays, the average person spends hours surfing the internet each day. Take me for example. My phone has recorded that I spend an average of 2-3 hours a day surfing the web on my phone, not to mention the 6 hours I’m constantly connected to it to carry out my work tasks. In some respects, it’s very useful to google things that you may be curious about throughout the day, but many people spend time surfing instagram or facebook watching lives of people they don’t even know, which is a 100% waste of time in my opinion. How do you think people will be using the internet in 10 years (time)?
That’s a great question! It’s difficult to imagine this, but I would imagine we will continue to use it in all the respects that we do nowadays, but even at a more elevated level. For example, I’ve often speculated that we will have hologram images instead of video chats. On the other hand, I have a feeling that the online classroom will soon replace the traditional classroom. When it comes to the work world, I imagine that even more jobs will become remote. All in all, the world will continue to advance technologically.
