Yang Li: Next Daya and Phillip told me how helpful they find the internet for research. Daya: Internet is a very important tool for research and I use it heavily for my degree and especially for my dissertation¹ and for some of the essays that we have to hand in recently. You can access loads of journals online, you could buy books cheaply online, there are also videos that you can watch that can help your degree for free. It helped me with my course, for my essay, and the internet is definitely helpful for research. Li: Right, excellent. Phillip: Yeah, without the internet I probably wouldn't be doing what I'm doing at the moment. I found the course online which really helped. Li: You're a music student aren't you? In what way does that help you enrich your experience? Phillip: The plethora² of data is just immense. If there wasn't the internet, I wouldn't be able to find tabs for the different songs I want to learn. Even if you haven't got a guitar tuner sometimes you could find the notes online to tune³ your guitar.
