I just think it's a moot point because the actual issue isn't whether people can be offline or not. It's whether they will have leisure time and how much leisure time they'll have. Yes, fiat debasement necessarily robs people of time if their time is valued and/or saved in fiat. But if you have any leisure time, you can spend at least some portion of it offline if you really want to. You might miss a tournament or whatever. But you chose, and that's what really matters. If you have no leisure time, I don't see why it matters. You don't have a choice anyway.

The whole idea is bizarre. If I have leisure time and spend it reading an e-newspaper or an e-book, then that is low-class, but it's high-class to read the printed version? Well, I suppose. Some books are only available in digital format. I suppose you could order them on CD. But you would need the Internet for that. Just did some cross-stitching and sewing, but I got the patterns and instructions for that online. If the dinner meeting is arranged online, that is low-class, but if it is arranged using carrier pigeons, that is high-class?
