I was thirty something the first time I ever got on the internet. I had to go to the local library to use their computer, to do so. I think that I had turned 40 when dial up access became available where I live. So, yeah, I know that I would get by if the apocalypse destroyed the internet.
On the other hand, I am online all hours of the day and night. When deprived of the internet by a power outage, I routinely drive out to the highway, so that I can get online to inform the electric coop of the outage. At which time I check email, and look at something or other before returning to the house. Haven't been tested by long power outages - if the outage lasted more than a few hours, I'd probably drive out to get a cell signal, so I can look at stuff. My life certainly doesn't depend on the internet, but I like to keep in touch.
