It certainly indirectly translates to it though. English + internet = tons more information. English + travel = far more destinations. English + business = far more international opportunities.
For example, want to open up some business in Germany? You're going to have an easier time speaking either German or English than if you just speak Russian. Swap in Chinese/French/Spanish/Arabic if you like, but all of these still take a back seat to English (at the moment).

Potential opportunities by themselves are not going to keep many people motivated enough to push through. Internet is indeed very beneficial in a sense that it provides a tangible reward path at least for learning basics.
