Things that the internet is good for:

- Knowing who is on/off the market (Facebook is the most useful.)

- The new job/baby/or significant other of someone. (Important life changes.)

- Stay in touch with people you rarely see (old college buddies, high school friends, old co-workers, etc)

- Stalk, er... research people you just met or would like to meet.

- Plan events, and let people know about said events.

- Learning new things (i.e. how to knit, where the best Italian restaurant is, did my carburetor just die? )

- Advertising. Ick.

- Share creativity through visual media.

- Shop!
- Music. Live and canned.
- Waste time (through any combination of the above mentioned activities.)
