Many government services are offered over the Internet. My county government has an app I use to request services. I find information about state government services such as motor vehicles. The school system has an extensive online portal for parents. They post grades there.

Sure you can do all this with no Internet. But it will take much longer, requiring phone calls or in person visits.

Plus, want to try applying for a job with no Internet?

A person with no Internet at home (or on a phone, etc.) is doomed to be much less productive.
