So what other technology that has been available to consumers affordably for over 3 decades do you refuse to use? Whst is “amoral” about using the internet to its fullest?

    I thought all of this should have been clear in the first post, but I guess it wasn't.

    The problem is not using the Internet, but being expected to use it for things where there isn't a clear domain requirement for it.

    The immorality I describe is on the part of the entity expecting Internet usage, not the user.

    The issue is that I paid money for my hardware to own it outright, and this expectation makes it feel like I no longer actually fully own that hardware.

      You mean you don’t see a clear use to use the internet to access the worlds knowledge that is processed by a cluster of super computers is not something you should need? Should we all have our own data center in our homes?

      I also bought my phone, but I still need a global network to make it usable

        This still has nothing to do with a point of view that I have already clearly laid out multiple times.
