"If you aren't online you are missing out on so many opportunities nowadays, in terms of media consumption, on-demand things like iPlayer [or] on-demand TV that kind of thing," he remarked.
"People are also missing out on things like finding the best deals when it comes to comparing product prices, insurance, or any kind of service [and] also government services."
Mr Dawson added that it is becoming more and more essential for some people who work at home and rely on an internet connection to carry out their jobs.
