> Say I want to program on a laptop - I can't program without access to the relevant documentation, access to download the libraries I need, and I'm often completely lost trying to debug a problem without access to SO or finding what triggers a particular error. Is this beacuse I have become over-dependent on the Internet for help, or even because I never learned how to program sans Internet? Probably, and it's a shame. There are two issues-- smearing your computer's dev environment across the internet, and making the internet a hard dependency of your mental model for your project. Downloading all the libs-- environment smearing problem. Can't debug without SO-- internet dependency problem.
