Well the thing is. We're reliant because there's only so much a teacher knows or what to teach and has a certain time frame. It's a simpler and faster means to work out an answer or find out interesting facts etc... However most people who say we're too reliant are blind to the fact that the tests are growing harder, grade boundaries are being raised. The fact is if most adults were told to retake a normal GCSE maths or english test if they didn't use the internet, just books to revise they would most likely still fail.

There's being reliant and then there's using it to your advantage. If you can do something easier than something that takes twice as long you might as well do the easiest option. Not even kidding when I say that if I had no access to the internet I would 1.Do nothing on a daily basis or turn out to be social, drink alcohol, do drugs etc... 2.Have nobody to talk to. To some it creates laziness. To others it's a great way to meet people and learn what they know.
