This is a serious post. Take it seriously, intellects. Some of you might remember when there was no Internet. I have realized that if there wasn't an Internet, my grades would be significantly better. So, Imagine a world without:
- LiveWire
- MySpace
- Facebook
- AIM, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, etc
- YouTube
- All other Websites
Now, Do you think your grades would be improved if there was no Internet, or Do you think that if you refrained from using the Internet for a semester your grades would improve? Now, Remember, research was done in the libraries...

I gave away my computer my second semster of my junior year, and my homework habits have drastically increased since then.

I would be an A grade student without the internet. I became addicted to Habbo.co.uk during my GCSE's, and now Livewire for my A-levels...

I do believe my grades and homework participation would increase, but maybe not too drastically, simply because I'd find another way to procrastinate.

My grades would definitely improve; I spend so much time just refreshing livewire, browsing youtube, or just looking for fun websites to play around with. If I didn't have something that I enjoyed and was this easy to do from home, I think I would spend a lot of the time studying or doing school work.

I think my grades would be a lot higher. The only thing is, the internet can provide information a lot faster than you can search for the right books. The only problem is the information on the internet can often be very misleading, even on sites like Wikipedia and so on.

My grades would probably suffer profoundly without access to the internet. It allows me easy access to information which can be readily verified with other sources. If one can resist the temptation of irresponsible jackassery to a sufficient degree, the internet is a beneficial tool.

My grades wouldn't have changed. I didn't fail because of the internet... but it gave me something to do after I did.

Not to sound like a douche but, even with the internets, I've basically managed to keep up straight A's.
Don't ask me how because I truly don't know.

I'm kinda the same as branflakes. Sure, I could have gone better at my end of school exams, but quite frankly I got a final result that was far better than I needed to get into my top university course preference. But I see how the internet may be a problem for some students.

The grades would certainly improve - without internet, we would be forced to go back to the good old fashioned research method - looking for the right books in a library. Learning would be more propelled by intellectual curiosity, while there would be far less distraction to prevent us from our studies.
