British children feel 'sad' without internet connection

Forty-nine per cent of British children aged 12 and under, would be sad without access to the web, while one in five would be lonely.

The ‘Digital Futures’ project, which surveyed 1,000 young people in the UK between the ages of eight and 16 about the impact of the internet on their lives, found that the emotional attachment to the web was even stronger with teenagers.
