Also _my_ point. It's nearly impossible to communicate with the outside world without the internet in some form. Even life without a smartphone is physically difficult let alone socially difficult. I'm literally a walking, sometimes talking, edge case.

I carry cash - stores don't have humans anymore.
I don't carry a smartphone - restaurants only have QR code menus, or event's requiring tickets don't use physical tickets anymore.

The local subway/train this year dropped all non-smartphone ticketing systems. They require a smartphone with internet, NFC, and GPS from what i've been told to ride the subway.
