    The question is very open ended. It could use a bit of refinement.

    In today's day and age, it's almost impossible to do everything you need to, without the internet. I'm just talking about paying the bills, etc. Also, doing things "the old fashioned way" doesn't mean you're doing things "the smart way".

    "Could I survive without the internet?" Definitely and I probably would have a lot more functional electronics than most people younger than myself. Your always on console won't run any of your games, because you don't have internet? Sucks to be you. Maybe you should have made better purchasing decisions? People do stupid things, if it's convenient for them. Personally, I don't mind a bit of inconvenience, if it means the corporation can't just yoink the stuff back, because "licensing" blah blah blah.
