Very very good tasters. 1 to 1 really helps I can’t help notice the joy on people’s faces when they realise that they’ve actually learnt something useful to them for a change. This kind of help is not available anywhere else I suddenly realised they were talking to me as a responsible adult, which no-one has done for a long time.

‘On several occasions during interviews, respondents spontaneously mimicked the beep beeping sound of the library computers and discussed the anxiety that it and other temporal constraints induced because they could not save their work fast enough. Stephanie offers: ‘I can’t even really concentrate on what I am doing because I am so stressed that I will run out of time’. (Robinson, 2009: 497).

Robinson concludes that ‘At the mercy of spatial-temporal urgencies that do not encumber their more advantaged peers, these youth develop an attitude antithetical to skholè in which efficiency is their primary goal. Buffeted by the winds of their life circumstances, they develop a task-oriented information habitus that frames appropriate internet use in terms of waste avoidance. Looking for unambiguous payoffs, they enact the ‘taste for the necessary’ that Bourdieu attributes to people socialized in conditions of scarcity and want.’ (Robinson, 2009: 505).
