Internet brings the progress and the convenience. Because of the Internet, the earth is like a village. A lot of people stay home and addict to using computer to access the Internet.

According to I, L, Huang research of many universities, most of the undergraduate Internet explorers own their own computers. The length of the Internet experience was longer than four years. The exploring times were more than one hour per day, less twenty hours per week and they often used Internet on the campus. The undergraduate Internet explorers often used BBS, WWW and E-mail. Besides, the popular types of websites were searching engines, media news and the entertainments.
