I agree, the internet is not the right medium for every aspect. But I do think it has a certain level of accessibility and mobility real life cannot offer.
My grandfather's gravestone is in Pueblo, Colorado a thousand miles away in a town I have few reasons to visit. If I had a digital library of memories, I could connect with him more regularly than every 15 years. But he was pre-internet and I have no access to these things. I am stuck with memories in my head, which fade in time (one of the tribulations of being human).
