You read about patches and bug fixes on the Net, and you download these too over the Net. And if it's a game you play deathmatch with other people via a Net games server. Most newspapers have a Net presence. Increasingly there are newsletters, Gazettes and papers that are being created solely for the Net. The advantages are larger audiences, better targeted readers and the ability to customise the paper to contain only things that interest you.
Advertisers love that sort of profile.
