For some, maybe. But not at all for me. I'd argue internet has greatly reduced if not almost eliminated need for driving car for many people. I could get by without car for week. Not having internet for same period much less so.

All my finances, banks, retirement, taxes, budgeting etc is online. most of my work (email, googling, tools) is only possible online, 90+ percent of my entertainment and social media is online. My maps, calendar, appointments, education, finding things out such as court houses address or phone number of restaurant is online. Much of my medical (presprections, appoint schedule, doctor/nurse correspondence) is online. Most of my shopping is on line.

I wonder though! If you were to give every American today an ultimatum that they had to either (1) never drive a car again or (2) never use the internet again, what percentage would take each side of the deal?

Is it? There are numerous US cities where you can live comfortably without owning a car. Living without using the big five is all but impossible in part because you never know what they're doing behind the scenes.
