By Andreeva Svetlana, According to a recent survey by the Boston Consulting Group, many Britons prefer surfing the Internet to coffee, alcohol and sex. 78 percent of respondents said that they would give up coffee rather than being forced to go offline, 65 percent would prefer to give up alcohol, and only 25 per cent would rather give up sex.The Internet is a place where a person may quickly settle down to married life, build a house and find new friends with the help of a computer mouse’s several clicks – something that can also help an Internet surfer to start dealing with his or her own business in the world wide web.
