I personally love the Internet for how it connects me to the rest of the world. It helps me to see beyond the scope of my own little life. I only spend an hour or so on the net each day, just to catch up on Facebook and Steemit and maybe a few other social channels. I also use the Internet to research things I want to learn. I find it very enriching.

I do think the view you have portrayed applies to many people who don't choose to use their time wisely and get completely sucked in. But it is a very different and positive thing for many of us.
