Having mobile internet at my fingertips whenever I want lets me access information online whenever I have down time or nothing to do. Before I had a phone with internet access I didn't pay much attention to the news or the economy. Now that where ever I am I have internet I am always keeping up to date with the world around me, whether it be local or national news. I have recently took on an interest to the stock market because of my phone. The stocks application on the iPhone has always been one that I never paid attention to. I tried multiple times to delete it because I felt that it was a waste of space. Lately I have been adding different companies that I feel are going to be a good investment and watching them day to day on my phone. The application has news articles and a historical graph to see how the given company has done on stocks. Most of the time even if I am on my computer and want to look up a stock I will pull out my phone and check it on there. Overall I feel that my phone having internet on it makes me a more aware person. If I ever need or want to find out information on something I can instantly research it on my phone.
Here is an article that talks about how many people are actually using mobile internet

I agree with you! I google EVERYTHING. If I'm ever having a conversation and we disagree on something, I'll look up the answer. It definitely keeps me more knowledgeable about random things that would otherwise be forgotten after they had been talked about. If I ever don't have my phone or it dies, I panic because it means I won't be able to google all of life's questions lol
