As someone with a disability (and no car), the internet has played a massive role in allowing me to live independently, which in turn has a profoundly positive impact on my mental health. There are a wide variety of circumstances in which the internet has enhanced life experience - let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I'm sorry. I suppose I should have said "I don't need the internet outside of work."
All good! There's probably far more people in your boat than mine; it was a pretty natural conclusion to draw 🙂
