With waves of climate change disasters sweeping at an increasing rate across the world, and resulting wars being almost inevitable in the next few decades, you are unlikely to have always-on internet for the entirety of your life. My region (first world, in a wealthy nation) has had its infrastructure (roads and comms alike) largely destroyed twice in the last year or so. As we're rich, it gets built back, but that takes time. I've been stung enough from weeks'-long outages and periods of isolation to never again completely rely on an internet connection. I do use software that requires a connection, but not for anything critical.
