(because I just linked this in IRC, and the source site is a PITA)
A pyramid-shaped diagram, with the most basic needs at the bottom and the more advanced needs at the top; diagrams of this sort mean that the needs at the bottom must be fulfilled first.
Top down:
Productivity: Once all other needs have been met, users may finally be productive.
Knowledge Search: The need to feel smart by researching useless facts, reading celeb gossip & self-diagnosing illnesses on WebND
Fails: The need to build self-esteem by viewing the idiocy of others
Porn: The need to feel loved and to give love to one's self
Social Networks: The need to feel connected to friends, acquaintances, and people randomly met once one night
Cats: Above all else, internet users require funny pictures of cats
