What is your age?
26 What is your gender? male How frequently do you use the internet? constantly Please indicate all the online activities that you engage in: Check Email - always on Research for school/work. - research for school on small occasion, textbooks are normally enough (but I have several highly specialized books to augment the text) Browse social websites (i.e. myspace, facebook.) - occasionally and very lightly, and not with any serious interest in the interactions they offer Entertainment websites (i.e. ebaums, somethingawful,) - more often because someone has sent me a link. I don't generally seek out things like that. Use internet bulletin boards. - I pretty much just belong to this place. Commercial activities (i.e. ebay, amazon) - I used to buy lots of movies from different places online, back when I had a really nice job and wasn't a poor college student lol Online gaming- none Online chat programs(i.e. aim, msn messenger) - Mostly for contact with good friends, not so much for casual acquaintances... my IM list isn't that big compared to some, but they're people I would care to talk to. Online chat rooms (i.e. IRC)- None really, outside of the TFP one, which I would frequent even if I weren't a mod. Examples of words that may have originated from the internet: pwned, l33t, r0xx0red, n00b, googled How frequently do you utilize or hear words that may have originated on the internet in conversations online? Please list them: Probably none, though there may be a few that sneak in... I wouldn't consider "googled" to be on par with gamer/hacker/AOLer/1337 speak like "pwned" and "n00b" and the like. I think "googled" is the only one I use, and it's a very common verb now. How frequently do you utilize or hear words that may have originated on the internet in conversations offline? Please list them:[/QUOTE] None. I hate when people use the word "noob" in person. It's stupid- especially "pwned"... makes me wince at how dumb it seems to actually use it as a real word. I do use some net-originated lingo, but mostly for humorous purposes (and generally for mockery) like saying I saw something "on the internets". It's not because I seriously want to call it "the internets" but because it's a fun sort of mockery to do so, poking fun at those who DO take such things on a more serious (or any kind of serious) level. |

Once in a while you'll hear some 12 year old, or a 20+ year old who acts like a 12 year old. *edit* Come to think of it, terms like googled, and photoshopped would apply for both Online and Offline use. Typically when I think of internet acronyms bad things come to mind.
