    And if I can’t, I’ll just stop using the internet for anything I don’t absolutely have to.

    I don’t really need my smartphone. A laptop will do.

      Anything you can do on a smartphone that would require Internet would also require Internet on a laptop no?

      I suppose you could download offline installers to a thumb drive at the library or smth
