- What are some of the most important reasons why you use the Internet?
=> School, email, chatting, games
- Is being part of an online community important to you? If so, what communities do you participate in?
=> Depends. It is not _that_ important in life as I see my friends almost every day but it is fun and thus important to my relaxation after school.
- What are some of the most important reasons why you use instant messaging?
=> fun
- Have you ever used video within instant messaging to stay in touch?
If so, explain what you thought of it, or why you don’t use it.
=> No. No need, is just maybe fun for a few times, but also slow.
I also asked how much time he spends on the net, since I find this rather important to place the answers in a good perspective. He spends on average 3 hours a day on the PC (at home), and 1 hour on the internet.
