German 20-somethings (would) ditch their spouses and do without a car in a heartbeat if they had to choose between having them or Internet access or (a) mobile phone, according to an industry study.
In a survey by German broadband association Bitkom (around) 84 percent of respondents aged 19-29 said they would (rather) do without their current partner or an automobile than forego their connection to the Web.
Living without a mobile phone was also (unthinkable) for 97 percent of those questioned in that age range.
Nevertheless, Bitkom president August-Wilhelm Scheer said (on) Monday in Hanover that did not mean that "the Web is an anonymous medium that (leads) to social indifference".
One of the main themes at this year's annual tech trade fair CeBit in Hanover is what the organizers have dubbed "Webciety", short for World Wide Web (society).
