This is the text (if you need help).

A report said that Internet access is good for us. Researchers looked at two million people's Internet use and health, from 168 countries. The data was from the years 2006 to 2021. The researchers looked at life satisfaction and social life. People with Internet access were eight per cent happier.

The report said Internet access was as good as walking in nature. Being online helps people to learn new things and make friends. However, the research did not look at the harmful effects of social media. A researcher said: "Different…uses of the Internet have [very] different effects on well-being."
