You are developing an understanding of how to construct search statements using boolean connectors. I would suggest you spend a little more time identifying the key concepts so you don't leave any out as well as brainstorm synonyms to make sure and capture your concepts fully.
For your question, I think you need a bit more either synonyms or terms, (Internet or Online) AND growth AND future maybe? It's too general now, the point of a search statement is to consider what you want to find and how best to describe that, does that make sense? Also, you could try your broad search and then observe the subject headings to revise your search statement to reflect that.
