According to this study on Internet use, this internship is turning me into an Asian!

Here’s what I do online: listen to music, read the news, IM my friends and update my blog. That’s what Chinese people like to do online, too! Americans, however, use the Internet more for commerical-related activities.

By the way, if you didn’t take the time to read the blog post, here’s an interesting nugget:

However, an interesting report by the Pew Research Center found that Chinese users aren’t as concerned about the censorship as Americans would assume. Though the Pew report concluded that Chinese users approve of the government’s management of the Internet, the high popularity of blogs and instant messaging, combined with what we’ve seen of their industrious ways of getting around certain controls, convinces us that maybe they’re not concerned because they just don’t let the government get in their way.

That’s generally how people roll in China, I’ve noticed. And not just with the government — they don’t let anything get in their way, even if it is in their way.
