In my travels, it seems that most home computer users primarily use email. I would love to see 100-200 comments attached to this short article so you can tell me what you use your computer for from day-to-day. You don’t have to be statistically accurate or detailed, I’m just curious and this topic is too broad and detailed for a poll.
Here’s how I use my main computer:
Internet (web browsing, pay bills, web site maintenance, etc) – 60%
Email – 15%
Instructional videos – 10%
Word Processing – 8%
Desktop publishing (creating newsletters, flyers, calendars, etc) – 2%
Skype video calls – 1%
Digital Photography (including ordering, editing, and downloading photos) – 1%
Games – .33%
Other – 2.67%
YOUR TURN! Leave a comment and share what you use your primary computer for on average. Thanks!
Music on Pandora – 100%
email – 35
digital photos – 10
word processing – 20
search, gen’l, genealogy, etc -15
google earth – 5
desk top publish – 15
Great comments everyone…keep them coming. Although, I still need the commenters listing “work” as an item to define that in terms of what kind of work that entails.
I’m listening to Pandora right now as well…what a great service!
