Well, no, but just try organizing anything involving other people without the Internet. I don't have WhatsApp and that's enough to throw a wrench in my plans. I regularly go someplace and no one else is there, and everyone else knew that it was canceled because it was posted in the chat.

Even Mass times are posted online, now. Want to know which tournament is coming up, and whether you are on the roster? Has choir practice been moved to Thursday? Reserving a table at a restaurant or a room at a hotel? When does the park open and do you have a map for the hike? It's a snowday and classes are Teams?

You'd have to basically withdraw from society, to be completely offline. I think they consider "don't use Facebook" to be "offline".
