You can take part in high brow discusssions with people all over the world just like sitting down in the library or outside the market hall.
You can find out when real life shows etc are and book for them without having to trapse through rain snow sleet to get your tickets.
Stop looking for whats missing and start looking for whats available you'd be surprised.

I'm not being a flat earther, and yes technology is great, but we could all sit at home and buy every single thing we need or would like information about via the internet, and what a sad and insular world we'd be living in.
You can't browse through a book on the internet or try clothes on.
