Internet- The life without it

Wondering why would someone write something online on a subject of Life Without Internet. Well, Well, Well, let me share an experience which will help in understanding the reach of internet.
Recently I had been to a remote place in Rajasthan Desert, Western India. The place was wonderful & to see sun-rise/sun-set it was even more then achieving your dreams. What a Lovely scenery it was to see sun setting down at the horizon in the golden sand.
You must be thinking am I writing something about the Internet or some Trip. But I'm coming back to that point by bringing some texture in it. Other then the awesome looks there was not much water (obviously I'm in the Desert), nominal shelter (Coz it gets too HOT), acute variety of food (No water, less production of food) & ample sand (That's the treasure). However there was a internet browsing hut nearby {I didn't bring my notebook with me (kept in the hotel room) thinking that where will I find a power source to charge (forget about the browsing part)}. This browsing center had high speed broadband connection with all old CRT monitors & might be P3-4 procs.
I was so astonished with the fact that where else in the world would I expect Internet. The owner of the browsing hut was using facebook (not that I was keen to know about him, just overlooked). He had all possible equipments to do a voice chat, scan, print all possible things you need in that desert, except Water (in fact there was a bit).
This showed me the way where our life is heading. There’s nothing without the internet nowadays. We are so addicted to internet, may it be through Banking, Social websites or video streaming for entertainment. Earlier if we need to know something we had our elders or friends to ask for, today I’ve Google to answer everything I need. People are becoming Globally social with internet, but I think we are moving away from the word of being social.
That’s it, too much of gyan, now I’m gonna check my FB account & watch some youtube videos. It’s been more than 30 mins since I’ve checked my FB status.
