Though I put down broadband and cellphone as 'essential', this is really only because of my job - working from home as a software developer and all that. Otherwise, I'm old enough to remember not having any of those things.
I do like being able to look up anything instantly via google though. I find when I'm away from home I have to make lists of things to look up when I get back, because it frustrates me that I can't learn pretty much anything I want to.
I wonder what schoolwork in the age of the internet is like? What used to take hours of research can now be achieved in 0.00000053478 seconds, retrieving 1,247,453 results.
