It was crucial due to the fact the Egyptians was dependent on the cycle of the Nile River. The Egyptians recognized three seasons: Akhet (flooding), Peret (planting), and Shemu (harvesting). The flooding season lasted from June to September, depositing on the river's banks a layer of mineral-rich silt ideal for growing crops. After the floodwaters had receded, the growing season lasted from October to February. Farmers plowed and planted seeds in the fields, which were irrigated with ditches and canals. Egypt received little rainfall, so farmers relied on the Nile to water their crops. From March to May, farmers used sickles to harvest their crops, which were then threshed with a flail to separate the straw from the grain. Winnowing removed the chaff from the grain, and the grain was then ground into flour, brewed to make beer, or stored for later use.

All the first points you have written are true, but there is si much more you could say...
It can provide information quickly to large groups of people, and has allowed the world to become more connected; through businesses being able to communicate globally from HQ to factories or family members being able to skype or IM from one side of the world to another.
The internet brings us all together really, its interactive and lets people have their say, overall it's a worldwide community. Other forms of media simply don't have this to such an extent, and so thats what I guess makes the internet stand out!
Think about how you use the internet, whether it be social sites like facebook or twitter, or creative sites like pinterest or tumblr. You could also include these thoughts in your answer!
I hope this helped! Have a nice weekend :))
