Great question. I am 76. Here is what I use the internet for:

1 Genealogical Research, I have identified my family back 8 generations
2 Google Earth. I hike in the wilderness and GE is a great help with GPS coordinates.
3 Wikopedia helps me learn more about the planet I live on, and also place names
4 Amazon.Com. I shop from the comfort of my own home and it's delivered to the door
5 ebay. I both buy and sell here and have earned a nice part time income by selling.
6 Auto Repairs. I have found sites on the web that help me fix my own car.
7 I use email to keep contact with family members all over the planet
8 Y/A is the least valuable, but it is ridiculous entertainment

That's just a beginning, I have other constructive uses for the web also.

Some of us use the Internet all the time....Other just stay on S/C, where the most intelligent, polite and mostly Troll free?, Q/A are given. and asked ...Try it, and see!...

It's pretty sad that you think twitter, tumblir and xtube are the main reasons people would use the web.
What a waste of your mind. The internet is like having the world at your fingertips. If you are interested in anything at all, you can find it on the internet. You obviously need to find more interests.
