Hey, readers, click your pens and your mouse! It’s time to play 20 Questions

It's your turn. I want to hear what you think about a number of things about the Internet -- how you use it and how things are changing. I'll share the best of what I get with readers in future columns, so remember that whatever you say may be used here, and beyond.

Keep in mind there's nothing scientific about the gathering of this information. This is all done in the name of fun and sharing personal habits, thoughts and opinions. You don't need to answer all of the questions, only the ones you want to. There are no right or wrong answers, so have some fun with it. Send your answers with the subject "20 Questions" to agibes@reviewjournal.com or complete the questionnaire online at www.lvrj.com/20questions.

Here's my version of 20 Questions:

1. What is your favorite, can't-live-without-it, thing about the Internet?

2. What is the one thing about the Internet you would improve if you could?

3. How often do you use the Internet and how does it compare with how you used it one year ago? (This can be number of Internet uses daily, weekly or monthly, or tell me how many hours per day you are online. Use whatever measurement you're most comfortable with.)

4. How often did you use the Internet five years ago?

5. How often did you use the Internet 10 years ago?

6. How many purchases have you made online this year?

7. When did you make your first online purchase and what did you buy?

8. How many items have you sold online in the last 12 months?

9. How many personal computers do you have at home?

10. When did you get your first home personal computer?

11. When did you buy your most recent computer?

12. Do you plan to buy a personal computer in the next three months?

13. Do you bring a computer with you when you go on vacation?

14. Do you use your mobile phone for e-mail?

15. Do you use your mobile phone to access the Web?

16. How many photos per month do you send from your mobile phone?

17. Do you have a MySpace or Facebook page? If so, how long have you used it?
