Technology class I am taking we are talking about the use of E-mail/usenet
systems. We think that it will be a good idea to gather some outside opinions
through the use of this system. We will really appreciate if you can take a few minutes and answer these following questions. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, WE NEED 
YOUR INPUT, SO OUR PAPER CAN BE DONE. I AM SCREAMING FOR HELP! PLEASE JUST 
SPEND A FEW MINUTES! THANK YOU! The questions are:
How often do you use this system? daily? weekly?
How much time do you stay on it each time you log in?
Why do you use this system? for fun? for information? for time killing?
for new ideas? for meeting people? . . .
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this system?
Do you spend your time differently after you use this system? watch less TV?
read less newspaper? write less? spend more time with your computer?
For how long you have been using this system?
THANK YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR TIME TO HELP!

 Most times an hour to an hour-and-a-half.

 Yes.

 Advantages: "meeting" people with like interests.
			 learning valuable information from people who've done it before.

>Do you spend your time differently after you use this system? watch less TV?

 I definitely spend more time with my computer!  Time spent on the net is
 free time so this would replace some of the times I watch TV, read the paper,
 or do whatever I want on my own time.

>For how long you have been using this system?
 5 months ago.
