Average age of MR members - Page 6

Here we go, I found it: http://www1.orange.co.uk/internetage/

It's an orange survey, but don't let that put you off.

My internet age is (drum roll) 12 (that's out of 16, so it doesn't correlate with actual age in the real world)

When it comes to the internet, you’re old and pretty wise, too. But even the oldest hand can still learn a thing or two.

You know your way around the internet, but there is still plenty to explore. How exciting to be on a path of discovery.

i'm 10 : "Seen it, done it, and probably ordered your t-shirt online – you know your way around the internet. Still, we can always do with learning a bit more.

Here are some sites you may want to check out:

Take running to the next level with Nike+ at nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus

Staying social:

of course, i know almost all the sites it recommended i check out... (okay, not nike, but what does running have to do with the internet ???).

i think i would have been older if i had said i uploaded photos of myself to social sites / flirted / met a boyfriend online. or maybe that would have made me younger ?

just as long as you KEEP IT DOWN in there, i've got no problem with you. (that's the beauty of shums online : they're so much quieter. in fact i don't think they can actually be called shums in those circumstances.)

Just glad to know there are other old foggies here.

The internet is 16 years old so our scale runs from 1-16
Your internet age is: 11

In internet terms, you're just starting out. There's a whole world out there to explore.

Well, I think I'm older than that...just because I don't internet date, or watch sports or create youtube videos.

I know HOW to do those things, just not interested in them.

zelda_pinwheel · 07-12-2009, 02:38 PM

you know, adrian doesn't appreciate yelling either.

and he's frequently loitering around here.

i'm just saying.

I'm 13, apparently. Not entirely sure from the quiz what that means though.
