The internet is becoming the main source of people's shopping and entertainment, according to Dan Oliver, editor of .net magazine.
"It's definitely more convenient to have a net connection, but it depends how you measure importance," Mr Oliver said.
Mr Oliver went on to say that whoever has had to contact a bank via the phone, or had to stand in a lengthy queue to obtain information on a public service, will see their net connection as "an essential commodity".
He went on to say that using the net as a way to deliver advice and services is only going to increase.
According to a report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a computer and home internet connection are now considered essential for all non-pensioner households.
The report also found that despite the recession, members of the public involved in the research have not reduced what they consider necessities. They still believe that, as a minimum, people need not just physical essentials, but also things that allow them to participate in society.
