NTIA: 35% Of U.S. Homes Without Broadband > So what.

reply to Snakeoil

Re: So what.

I fail to see the need for internet. Electricity helps keep food fresh, homes warm or cool. Phone allows contact with EMS.

Research.. can go to local library and do research there. Shopping.. again go to local stores and shop there, save on shipping fees and hassles with exchanges.
Entertainment.. Go to local movie theaters, watch over the air TV, rent movies from a video store, or get them for free from library.

Again, I see no dire need for internet, nor why people like it's a disadvantage if someone doesn't have access to it.

Besides.. maybe the homes they are talking about belong to the Amish or the other Amish like groups.

As much as I use the net, I still think it's a waste of money. I can do everything in a physical location that I can do on the net. Shopping, games, reading, news...
