In 2011, CNN Money recently wrote:
- "While the Internet's impact has also killed some jobs, it creates about 2.6 jobs for every one destroyed"
- "Companies using the Internet with a high intensity grow twice as quickly as low-intensity Web companies, export twice as much as they do, and create more than twice as many jobs."
- "In the United States alone, the Internet drove 15% of the country's economic growth between 2004 and 2009"
Independent internet workers vs. other workers:
In November of 2011, CNBC reported:
"MBO Partners found just the opposite. Nearly 80 percent of independent workers in the survey say they are highly satisfied (58 percent) or satisfied (21 percent) with their work situation; just 11 percent are dissatisfied. Only 19 percent plan on looking for a traditional job in the next 24 months. Instead, 63 percent plan to continue as independent workers; 12 percent say they want to build their operations into businesses with employees."
In 2010, the popular news website The Week reported that only 45% of workers reported liking their jobs, so clearly independent workers are much happier with their working life than the average worker.

Hodges Harbrace Handbook:
The [https://news.utk.edu/2012/03/07/hodges-harbrace-guide-70th-anniversary/ 70th-anniversary version of the Hodges Harbrace Handbook] is the 18th edition of this fine work.[https://www.amazon.com/Hodges-Harbrace-Handbook-18th/dp/1111346704/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2GSSBSWNM707N&keywords=hodges+harbrace+handbook+18th+edition&qid=1666716235&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=books&sprefix=hodges+harbrace+handbook+18th+edition%2Cstripbooks%2C266&sr=1-1] This grammar book has the longest history of any grammar handbook on the market. The Hodges Harbrace Handbook was produced by John C. Hodges in 1941. In 2012, it was one of the most widely used grammar textbooks and at the time it was estimated that 15 million students had used it.[https://news.utk.edu/2012/03/07/hodges-harbrace-guide-70th-anniversary/]
“Hodges created a clear taxonomy, with a simple numbering system for writing concepts and standardized usage,” said Cheryl Glenn, co-author of the eighteenth edition of The Hodges Harbrace Handbook. She is a liberal arts research professor of English... at Penn State. “As students’ needs have changed, both in the way they learn and receive information, so has the handbook, all while remaining true to the original template.
“Every successful handbook in America has copied the Harbrace Handbook. It may not have been the first English grammar handbook, but it became the first continuously published one.”
The entire family of Harbrace handbooks has evolved to reflect important cultural developments, including the digital age.

In 2011, CNN Money recently wrote:
- "While the Internet's impact has also killed some jobs, it creates about 2.6 jobs for every one destroyed"
- "Companies using the Internet with a high intensity grow twice as quickly as low-intensity Web companies, export twice as much as they do, and create more than twice as many jobs."
- "In the United States alone, the Internet drove 15% of the country's economic growth between 2004 and 2009"
Independent internet workers vs. other workers:
In November of 2011, CNBC reported:
"MBO Partners found just the opposite. Nearly 80 percent of independent workers in the survey say they are highly satisfied (58 percent) or satisfied (21 percent) with their work situation; just 11 percent are dissatisfied. Only 19 percent plan on looking for a traditional job in the next 24 months. Instead, 63 percent plan to continue as independent workers; 12 percent say they want to build their operations into businesses with employees."
In 2010, the popular news website The Week reported that only 45% of workers reported liking their jobs, so clearly independent workers are much happier with their working life than the average worker.

Hodges Harbrace Handbook:
The [https://news.utk.edu/2012/03/07/hodges-harbrace-guide-70th-anniversary/ 70th-anniversary version of the Hodges Harbrace Handbook] is the 18th edition of this fine work.[https://www.amazon.com/Hodges-Harbrace-Handbook-18th/dp/1111346704/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2GSSBSWNM707N&keywords=hodges+harbrace+handbook+18th+edition&qid=1666716235&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=books&sprefix=hodges+harbrace+handbook+18th+edition%2Cstripbooks%2C266&sr=1-1] This grammar book has the longest history of any grammar handbook on the market. The Hodges Harbrace Handbook was produced by John C. Hodges in 1941. In 2012, it was one of the most widely used grammar textbooks and at the time it was estimated that 15 million students had used it.[https://news.utk.edu/2012/03/07/hodges-harbrace-guide-70th-anniversary/]
“Hodges created a clear taxonomy, with a simple numbering system for writing concepts and standardized usage,” said Cheryl Glenn, co-author of the eighteenth edition of The Hodges Harbrace Handbook. She is a liberal arts research professor of English... at Penn State. “As students’ needs have changed, both in the way they learn and receive information, so has the handbook, all while remaining true to the original template.
“Every successful handbook in America has copied the Harbrace Handbook. It may not have been the first English grammar handbook, but it became the first continuously published one.”
The entire family of Harbrace handbooks has evolved to reflect important cultural developments, including the digital age.
