    What device are you using that banking app on? Cause it’s gonna be Apple or Android and none of the de-googled things either. With what account?

    Want to apply for a job? When did you do that the last time without it requiring the internet?

    Rent a place to live? Better fill out some forms online.

    Want to travel internationally? Where are you getting your tickets?

    Face it, you might have been born without the internet but it has become an absolutely essential part of a normal, daily life.

      If banking is your one issue, back in the day, Kevin Mitnick recommended just buying the cheapest new Chromebook you could find, and using it exclusively for banking. ZERO other uses. Never browse the web with it. Just boot it, do your banking, and shut it off, then leave it secured at home.
