Importance of various reasons and motivations for using the Internet were charted (e.g. "I search for the latest information on something", "I reminisce old times"). The respondents were asked how often they did different things on the Internet (e.g. write on forums, download music and series etc., use instant messaging services, use social media). Some questions investigated the respondents' mobile phone use for different purposes, and whether the respondents owned a Smart TV and used online services on it. Various media websites and online services regularly used by the respondents were charted. Relating to Facebook, the respondents were asked to what extent they played games of Facebook, had more than one profile, were worried about how corporations or other people used their personal information, kept in touch with relatives and family over Facebook, liked companies or brands, and received information about hobbies or interests. Finally, computer use was investigated as well as opinions on the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) and its services. Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, household composition, education, economic activitity and occupational status, province of residence, and type of municipality of residence.
