What Is Your Preferred Device for Surfing the Web? [Poll]

By Laura Tucker

You’re sitting in your home and decide to do a little Web-surfing. Either you’re just looking to spend some time looking up random things or you have a particular question you’d like an answer to. What device do you use for surfing the Web? What’s your “go-to?”

Just as there is an unlimited amount of information to research on the Web, there are also many options for accessing the Internet. It’s not just a desktop destination anymore. You don’t have to be housebound for that access. You can be mobile with a laptop and find that access anywhere you can get a Wifi signal. But our devices now extend much beyond that. Of course you can also surf the Web on your mobile phone. If that screen isn’t big enough, maybe you want to access the Internet on a tablet. Or maybe you want something in between so you stick with a phablet. Maybe you like to do your surfing after watching television and just do so from a smart TV. Or perhaps you’re a big gamer and it’s easier just to do so from your gaming system.

Do you go for the larger size or do you go for convenience? Which device is your preferred method for surfing the Web?

Mycorrhizal fungi colonised plant roots roughly 450 million years ago and biologists now suspect plants could never have moved out of the oceans onto bare rock without them, meaning every forest on Earth — including the redwoods, the Amazon, and the boreal belt — is still running on a partnership older than trees themselves

A species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii can revert its adult cells back to a juvenile polyp stage when injured or starving, effectively restarting its life cycle, and biologists have so far failed to identify any natural limit to how many times it can do this.
French scientist Michel Siffre spent two months alone in a cave with no clock, no calendar, and no sunlight — and when his team finally told him the experiment was over, he thought he still had nearly a month left underground
When Cingular chief Stan Sigman backed the original iPhone before its 2007 unveiling, he accepted terms American carriers usually refused: no logo on the device, no control over its software, no preloaded apps, and a share of monthly subscriber revenue flowing back to Apple, after signing on without seeing a prototype
In 2016, archaeologists dated two rings of snapped stalagmites in France’s Bruniquel Cave to 176,500 years ago, evidence that Neanderthals had walked 336 metres into darkness with fire and built architecture deep underground long before modern humans reached Europe
Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.
