A Conversation for Internet Addiction
Couldn't do my job without it

My work involves being an expert in virtually every technical field imaginable, I'm a translator. If I didn't have the internet I'd need the entire British Library in my office. One day I could be working on documents about Landfill sites, the next about shipbuilding and the next on nuclear reactor components. And it's impossible to translate something if you haven't a clue what they are actually talking about. Hence the reason I can't do without the internet. Somewhere, virtually every subject in existence is covered somewhere on the web. Ok, so you've got to filter out a lot of junk when you do your research, but among all that junk is an awful lot of information.
At least that's my excuse for spending 8 hours a day logged onto H2G2.
