did you know for example in a recent survey eighty percent of scottish men
claim they regularly surf the web until they were told
that the fruit machine in the chippy is not actually part of the internet
seven percent of 80 year olds have used email and it's even better for them because they love spam
21 of people text whilst on the loo they're on pay as you go
and 47 of men would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma tv
and 47 of women said deal let's get started
what are you talking about that's the name of our first round we've teamed up with a leading polling
organization and they've asked the british nation what are the top uses of the internet it's our
panelists job to get the british public's top five uses of the internet sean your team to go first
what do you think people use the internet for uh you're well carol you're on the internet i'm on
the internet all the time i tell you what i do i shop on the internet i buy absolutely everything
on the internet you're not worried about fraud and all that sort of stuff no you're not worried about
people licking your identity or not no i bet your password is proper confusing though wouldn't it
you have an amazing password that you've actually got to solve three sums to get the password
i buy i buy a ton of books from amazon but i actually go to the to the factory and
i never ever use their website you just go to the depot in leicester yeah and there's one in
germany um i just like to be able to browse you know it would be amazing if abazon opened up a
shop where you could browse yeah i find it weird when they do that thing where they um
where they sort of suggest other things that you might like to buy
because of what you bought previously like i bought your dvd at christmas right and then
it said you like jimmy carr's dvd you might also like a police academy five assignment miami beach
whereas actually you'd be more likely to like mission to moscow which is the sixth
one but you were great in both of those films i tell you i bought your dvd christmas as well i
mean quite rightly you know they offer you things that you think would be associated
and there's an inflatable bondage chair that came up online but there must have been some
other things that you bought as well i'll tell you what you would love we're also offering mine camp
actually you might like minecraft
it is the recommendations is an odd thing because it's sort of i don't mind buying stuff
on amazon but when the recommendations come up i do sometimes think is that me i've got a change
it would freak you out if it happened in tesco wouldn't it you know what i mean if you were like
buying some tuna and someone went do you like tuna you can add it with pasta it's well-known
or if somebody came and bought your shop in the last minute like you've done all
the work bought it and you put your bid in for your shopping you're lining up in tesco
someone's gone i think you'll find that's my shopping now
david did you buy anything on you buy ebay stuff don't you i recently bought on ebay a five foot
actual size inflatable giant penguin uh and it's the first time ever in my life i have thought wow
when my parents were my age they had two kids in a house and i have an actual size five foot
right let's look and see whether shopping is one of the top five uses of the internet
