Internet makes people happy - gives freedom & control

A new study from BCS (former British Computer Society) found that Internet access improves the overall well-being of lower-income users, those with less education and women — particularly those in developing countries — by giving them a sense of freedom and control over their lives.

Internet has changed our lives. Unlimited access to information, connection with friends, room to express ourselves and now... happiness! I sent my first email in 1994-95 sometime, and was sooo excited (and scared) about words travelling so fast. And look at us now. Hundreds of emails in my in and outboxes every day. In another 15 years, who will I email? Probably no one. Apparently emails are already out of fashion, and Gen Y and Z think they are passé. Internet is not a digital version of the postcard; it´s something new.

Plus it makes us happy, and gives everyone a change. Love it (I am a woman, so that validates the study :)
