About 44 percent of Britons say they are "discomgoogolation sufferers", while 27 percent say they have rising stress levels when they are unable to go online. The results of a survey commissioned by U.K.-based YouGov attempted to measure the importance of immediate access to information made possible by Google and the Web.
The term comes from "discombobulate," which means to confuse or frustrate, and "Google".
The survey attempted to gauge the degree of reliance on instant answers to information provided by Google and other search engines and portals.
The survey also found 76 percent of Britons could not live without the Internet, with over half of the population using the Web between one and four hours a day and 19 percent of people spending more time online than with their family in a week.
The survey results provide testimony about the importance Web and Internet access now have assumed in peoples' lives.
