Internet and I-xing yee

I don't usually use the internet too much at home. I only use the internet when i am bored or tired after tuiton or doing homework. Sometimes the internet is useful for finding information and it also allows us to listen to music. But except for a few more things  it does not have any other uses hence, our choices are pretty much limited. I do not understand why students now like to use the internet so much as it not very useful.
