My studies would be ten times harder without the internet. It makes my life a lot easier... but saying that, if I'd never had internet to begin with then I'd probably not even have had the knowledge to go to university in the first place so I could just have an ordinary job right now instead, and it wouldn't require the internet.
The internet is vital in today's society and I can guarantee that more research is currently going into the internet than any of you could possibly imagine. And this research is costing billions of euro in the EU. My internship in the summer is funded by the ESRC and is based upon this topic, and the future is actually very scary indeed.
