Blog #1: How do you use the Internet? How does your Internet use compare to some other person in your family?

I think of the internet mainly as a studying tool. I use different resources to search and collect information on various topics; after that, I select what best suits for each situation and at the end I look up for concepts I don't understand. Additionally, I like to read the news to keep up to date with what's going on in the world.

Internet is also very important for me to communicate with my family and my friends back in my country and around the world. I do this by sending emails, using applications such as Skype, iChat and Messenger, and spending some time on Facebook and Twitter.

Finally, I use the internet just for fun; I watch videos on YouTube, purchase music and games, and watch movies online.

On the other hand, my brother uses the internet in a hole different way.
He is a music producer and owns a record label online, thus, the internet plays the most important role in keeping his business working. He contacts PR agents, musicians and other record label managers via email. His sales depend primarily on the songs he releases on Beatport.
He spends a lot of time on MySpace and some on Facebook and Twitter, but unlike me he uses those sites to promote his releases and shows.
He also uses the internet to pay bills and to purchase different items.
