Is no surf even a good idea in todays society?

I am not saying that we should be fully on our phones, but I feel that in today's society you miss out on a lot if you completely disconnect from the internet. If you want to be up to date with the world around you—as an ideal society should be—then it might be hard if you live under a rock. I agree that heavy use of the internet is damaging to the brain, but maybe the answer is moderate use of the internet. And especially controlled and conscious use of the internet, which big companies spend millions on to work against.

What are your thoughts about it?
