My dad thinks the Internet is useless
Basically we are having issues with the internet at the moment and possibly the next few months, the idiot decided to say "Well after you have done your course we can get rid of the internet because its rubbish and we can buy better things".
He completely ignores the fact that I do a home based game testing which requires an internet connection or searching for a job and because HE doesn't use it then its pointless to have it because it does nothing for HIM.
In case you haven't noticed everything is about him and -blam!- everybody else including his family.
So, do you think you could really buy something better than an internet connection in today's world or is the internet the most important thing anybody can own?

The internet is certainly a faster means to an end for most things. This would include shopping, news (if you take time to validate), information (to include studies), searches (jobs, item reviews), gossiping (usage of social media programs are great examples), gaming (another form of social media), and so on. With all that said the service is offered for free (in US) in most public places (food places, libraries, coffee shops...). For home use the payer of the bills is the decision maker. I don't want to put myself in the position of analyzing your families structure but can share if I saw a message like this I would take away your internet access as well.
