And then it gets more extreme than that.

One in 10 people, so over 400,000 adults, say they can't even go 15 minutes without the internet.

But what's really shocking is that 40% of people will turn down 5 million euro just so that they can have the internet forever.

Our life is very much dependent on it.

In saying that, though, it's not all just doom and gloom.

Like, as you say, people can be doom scrolling, but people also use the Internet to connect with friends and family living abroad.

For example, if you're on your holidays, you might want to FaceTime someone.

We're going to use the Internet then.

So it does have a really positive impact as well.

And we just need to know the kind of balance that we want to have.

have with it.

But over 70% of people, they actually believe that the internet should be part of our public utility bills.

Same as electricity, same as water, which I guess is a fair point when you bring it into account that you're using it to communicate with people because that leads on to

The mental health side of things as well, which the internet does help us with.

If you're living abroad from all of your family, you want to FaceTime them, a WhatsApp call from them.

This is where the internet is a great positive impact.

Yes.

So for so long, we have been told that 10,000 steps a day is a target that we need to do.

But a new study from the London School of Economics tells us that just 5,000 steps three days a week is actually all that we need, which is a lot more achievable as well.

I think for people who are working full time as well or might have kids, we don't need to be stressing about getting those 10,000 steps.
