13. Conclusion Our survey has shown just how widespread and important the internet really is as a resource. It is important that we keep up with tomorrow. It leads in dominance over the long traditional, undisputed information tools, such as books. Thank you for listening to our presentation. We believe education systems should strive to outfit themselves to the better technology and services of tomorrow.
