Yup, life would pretty much be the same without the Internet, except when it saves someone's life: http://www.postbulletin.com/news/loc...5b46dd288.html

I'll agree that we, the common man, could easily live our lives without email, Facebook and Twitter. But those things are not what the Internet is really useful for, and to say that they are what the Internet is all about is just worthless. It's like saying that cities are bad compared to an agrarian society because it just clusters many citizens close together, making them easier to target.
