The 12 Types Of People On The Internet – Which Type Of Online User Are You?

In this video, we explore 12 types of people on the internet. The internet has changed the world the way we know it. Just think back to life 100 years ago compared to life now. Pretty much everyone and their grandmother is online these days. And no matter how you spend your time on the net, you will have cyber-met at least one of each of these types of internet users!

The Centers are the biggest types of online users out there! They take center stage on the web and are active in every social community possible. More than 50% of people who view user-generated content, comment on blogs and social media. These are the Critics, and they also post ratings and reviews for products and services. The Open Sharers are always on social media platforms. Such as Facebook and Twitter. They share EVERYTHING! While the Simply Interactors think that Facebook is the internet! They spend all day posting cute videos and inspirational quotes. You know the ones…

The different types of people on the internet also have different types of outlook on privacy

For example, there are the Solely Shoppers! These people are master bargain hunters. They scour the net to compare prices and find the best deals. But, these people are the biggest targets of internet marketers, and they tend to know very little about how data is used to target them. The Passive Users are completely okay with giving up their data while they’re unaware of targeted marketing and how to manage privacy. While the Proactive Protectors crowd are among the best educated and most employable. However, they are the least willing to share their lives in public.

Let’s not forget the Gamers! They’re passionate and usually quite a pleasant bunch. They tend to use the internet mainly for games (dah…) and they are much more likely to be PC users. While the Downloaders really know their way around torrent sites. These types of internet users have huge hard drives to store all their cracked software. Along with a large collection of movies, music, and games.

Of course, this list of the different types of people on the internet wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the Trolls… They’re everywhere, and you can’t really escape them. So, try not to take things too seriously.
