When I find the right information, the Web is a blessing; when I don't, it's a distraction.

Even before smart phones and the Internet, we had many ways to distract our selves. Now that's compounded by a factor of trillions.

The Internet has become important on the world's stage.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.

I don't use the Internet, as I don't like living with lots of distractions. I have tried, but I found it a hindrance. as my sense of priorities goes out of the window and it pulls me out of my writing, particularly with email. I'd sit there for hours just replying to emails.

The Internet is one of the biggest advances ever in our world.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

It comes down to a question of attention: it's difficult to use the Net distractedly, unlike the television or the radio.

The Internet has exceeded our collective expectations as a revolutionary spring of information, news, and ideas. It is essential that we keep that spring flowing. We must not thwart the Internet's availability by taxing access to it.

I don't think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn't becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it's very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people 'over the Internet.'
