This research uses the concept of activity within the concepts of Uses introduced by Levy in theoretical models of Uses and Gratifitcation. Data Collection is by survey. Based on the findings about the second dimension of activity phenomenon (communication sequence), especially in the second one, which concerns the applications phenomenon: browser; channel; and a variety of individual issues mediated by internet use. This existing diversity shows the selection process by respondents. In using media, individuals are assumed to be active selectors in the model of uses and gratification theory. This activation is caused by individuals, who are psychologically have needs and gratification. Thus, the emergence of diverse forms of activity, theoretically is possible because of the five alternative "needs and gratification " within the respondent. This study do not explore variable "needs and gratification".Therefore, which the most influencing minor variables of major variables of "needs and gratification" on the respondent's Internet uses activity are not identified. Hence, further researches need to analyze for example by LISREL analysis.

ABSTRAK
Berlatarbelakangkan fenomena kemudahan berkomunikasi di kalangan anggota masyarakat karena kemajuan ICT, penelitian diorientasikan pada masalah penggunaan internet dan fokus pada fenomena enabler akses dan mediating messages. Dengan menggunakan konsep aktivitas Levy dalam kaitan konsep Uses dalam model teori Uses and Gratifitcation, penelitian gunakan survai dalam pengumpulan datanya. Berdasarkan temuan terkait fenomena aktifitas dimensi kedua (urutan komunikasi), terutama pada urutan kedua, yaitu menyangkut fenomena aplikasi browser; channel; dan ragam permasalahan yang dimediasi individu melalui penggunaan internet, kiranya semua keragaman yang ada itu menunjukkan adanya proses seleksi dalam diri responden. Dalam penggunaan media, individu diasumsikan sebagai selector aktive oleh model teori uses and gratification. Aktifasi ini sendiri karena dalam diri individu itu secara psikologis memang telah dilengkapi beberapa “needs and gratification”. Ada lima kategori “Needs and gratification” itu. Dengan demikian, munculnya bentuk ragam aktifitas sebagaimana ditemukan dalam penelitian ini, secara teoritis itu dimungkinkan karena adanya lima alternatif “needs and gratification” dalam diri responden. Upaya eksplor terhadap variabel “needs and gratification” tidak dilakukan dalam penelitian ini dan karenanya variabel minor mana dari variabel mayor “needs and gratification” yang paling berpengaruh terhadap aktivitas responden menggunakan internet itu belum diketahui. Guna mengetahuinya karenanya diperlukan semacam analisis LISREL pada penelitian sejenis di masa mendatang.
Kata-kata Kunci : Penggunaan; Konten; Internet
