The information provided in this pie chart is about time spent on some Internet activities. As it is evident from the chart, the majority of people, accounting for nearly one third, use social networks. The next popular activity is playing games. The figure stands at 28 per cent. However, the least popular activities are making purchases or booking. The former makes up 8 per cent and the latter stands at 2 per cent.

Comparing the data given in the pie chart it becomes obvious that accessing to films or music is twice as less popular than using social networks. Also, time spent on on-line shopping is 4 per cent more than that spent on booking.

The pie chart plainly indicates that social networking websites are in demand. The excessive amount of time spent on social networks can cause some problems. One of them is addiction. It is a serious problem since addicts experience difficulties with socializing in real life. One of the probable solutions is learning time management. This way people would spend less time on social networks.

To sum up, the Internet provides users with a great number of activities, social networking is one of them. In my personal opinion, social networks play a significant role. They offer many services and help users to connect with their friends and share opinions with likeminded people.
