Those are very similar to my thoughts about the two, working and commuting such long hours, most of my life is planned via the internet. If I had to buy train tickets, or shop for things in person, I'd have even less free time. I simply couldn't imagine my life without them now.
The thing I'd miss the most about never having books again would be looking at my recipe books. Novels I could get on the internet and while I know you can get recipes on the internet too, it just isn't the same. I love to curl up on the sofa and flick through the pages drooling over the glossy pictures. It's one of my favorite things to do to relax. I suppose if I had enough money to retire to a cottage, where I could live as a hermit, didn't have to work for someone else and be could be self sufficient, I would probably give up the internet instead. However that's not likely to happen and I would really miss email, as I hate phones, they're far more intrusive.
