I've been online for so many years now...my entire adult life...I don't know what I'd be doing instead. My mom watched a lot of soap operas. My grandma called each of her friends every single day.
When my kids were little and my husband traveled way too much for work and I was miles from family and my brother was deployed...I can't imagine how isolated I would have felt if it weren't for the internet.
I'm also glad I'm internet savvy now that my kids are old enough to start getting online.
That said, I sometimes get sick of the internet. I used to have a better attention span, especially when it comes to things like reading novels. We had a huge power outage over the summer that lasted days, and while I hated that my coffeepot didn't work, I appreciated the break from the internet.
