Everyday internet

-

Online at RappNews.com, our weekly poll asked how, and how often, respondent­s use the web. With 50-plus responses as of Wednesday, the unscientif­ic but unsurprisi­ng results: We use it mostly for email and social media browsing. And we use it every day.

Asked if they used the internet daily, 100 percent of respondent­s answered “Yes.” Not a shocking result, considerin­g this poll was offered online.

Business use, personal or both? More than 80 percent said “both”; 17 percent said “personal.”

And what do we do online? From the top: Email, browsing social media, news, shopping, texting/ messaging, streaming videos/music, and other. Other activities noted by respondent­s included gaming, payments and banking, and research for both business and school.

One “Other” respondent took the opportunit­y to complain about the “exercise in frustratio­n” of trying to use cell signals to access the web, for work, when in Rappahanno­ck. “I am so sick of a small contingent of old timers . . . blocking any reasonable progress in this county. Internet, mobile is a

fact of life. Just like telephones used to be.”
