Goodness! This one is a pretty easy one to answer!
diversity
I love how vast the Interest it, how limitless the diversity is. If you can think of something you are interested it or would like to know, you are almost sure to find out more on the Internet!
communication
From e-mail to FaceBook to individual interest groups, the communication made possible by the World Wide Web is remarkable. It's sad that hand-written letters are being phased out, although I honestly wouldn't communicate with as many people as often if I had to hand-write and mail.
education
Similar to the diversity, it is so easy to look something up. A few years ago, World Book was trying to sell us a $4000 set of encyclopedias. Really? There's the Internet! The educational value here, from accessing academic journals to zeroing in on zany words, is priceless.
current events
I read both the local and international papers online. I look up movie times. I find out about kink events. I follow political developments. The Internet connects me to all kinds of current events that I might not otherwise follow.
entertainment
How many hours have I spent chatting, blogging, gaming, watching Netflix online? Beloved STILL teases me because I didn't embrace the Internet until the summer he and I lived apart...1998, I think. Now, it is hard to unplug because the Web has become my primary source of individual entertainment.
