Or has it already become a must...?? We have apps in mobile, online banking, online reservation-ticket bookings, online shopping, digital governance.. Life without internet is as difficult as life without electricity! Is this a good sign?

Are you talking about IoT (internet of things)?

Aren't we already there? There seem to be two places in the world, places where the Internet is essential, and places we use to escape from it. Personally I can live without on-line shopping, but you are right living without it is tough to do, my head aches from lack of input/output.

I think you are right, We are already addicted to internet.

@vijay_2016 Remember though the map of the places without internet is different than the map of places without electricity.

Good or bad,it has become necessary. i live in asmall town, no online shopping for local stores, can walk to the bank and do my work easily(lots of ex students are employees) but even then internet is a big part of my life.

Yes it has become important part..however I just wanted to know has it become as important as electricity? Does every home need an internet connection just like electricity connection? We have come to a point now that electricity is a must, does this holds true for Internet also?

@responsiveme yes electricity is a must. And according to you internet is not yet a must, but it is something good to have. Thanks for the response...
