How I use the Internet

I first got into computers, like most people, to use the internet. This has slowly progressed for me at least, from simple surfing, to gaming, and now to a career path. My main uses of the internet involve research, e-mail, and just to past time. I originally started using the internet when I was about 8 years old, and have been a heavy user since then. I never really got into the socialization side of the internet via blogging, Facebook, etc. Now I usually use it for work, or to simply research new technology for computers that is coming out.
