Courtesy of the USC Center for the Digital Future. Here are the results of their survey of top activities for internet users. I am impressed we made the list, let alone made #7.

Got this from Mark Evans, after he saw Jeffrey Cole speak today. Wish I had caught that actually. Hope to meet Mark at MESH. He is doing a good job at promoting the new web lifestyle.

The top 10 for 2005 are:

1. e-mail
2. general Web surfing
3. reading news
4. shopping
5. entertainment news (searching and reading)
6. seeking information about hobbies
7. online banking
8. medical information (searching and reading)
9. instant messaging
10. seeking travel arrangements and travel information.
