How Important is T'internet

What a cracking comment.

Thinking you have the respect of the people: £187,000+unique expenses. Thinking you saved the world:One trillion quid, unprecedented debt for generations, the decimation of Sterling abroad. Hoping that promising everyone 2006 spec broadband would garner a positive response (see Ofcom):priceless

Could probably go without gas for a few days, water I dont think i could go without, but internet.........I was without it for about 24 hrs and i was going insane :D
 
mine was lost when returned from hols last week fer a few days, not a happy bunny at all. it is important, not obviously as much as water nevertheless its missed like hell when ya aint got it.
 
I rely heavily on the internet, for work especially, it is partly responsible for many local shops and stores closing though, because there are limited overheads as compared to a shop, so things are sold much cheaper, it is also responsible for much of the worlds fraud, so good and bad, but I would miss it terribly.
 
I`d rather have no TV than no t`internet.........but i may struggle without water.........no gas , no problem, `i`ll put mi coat on.......
 
Was without mine for three months last year due to stupid provider. Nearly drove me barmy, so yes it is very important.
 
Whilst I think the internet is important, it isn't essential, unless of course it is how you gather business.
I reckon the vast majority of us on here could survive without our internet access, and it wouldn't be a happy expereince I am sure....I don't think we would survive without access to clean water.
 
Internet is cheaper than books. Books cost more money. Brown brainwashes us to accept the internet is a better resource than books and the next thing you know they'll be cutting funds to our local libraries.

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.
 
While I accept that the internet is a valuable study aide, I still prefer to learn from a book.
I find it hard to digest stuff from the screen........If I do need an article that is available only on the internet, then I have to print it off to read it properly....and I know that I am not alone in this as there was a thread on a similar subject recently.
