The Internet is a Necessity. 
Its funny how some people out there still thing the internet is like a library book or a pay TV connection they can afford to return or turn off.
The internet is an unlimited array of phone-books, maps, guides, jobs, emails, entertainment, shopping, dating, training, courses, education, encyclopedias, research, news, information, medical assistance, communications, etc and so much more.
It is something you should not live with out and learn to master, as in the future it will be something you and your children wont be able to live with out.
