Just comes with the downside that I can't take part in every day life, talk to my friends, stay connected with old friends, borrow an electric bicycle, transfer money easily... I have to drive to a shop only to see it's closed and they posted that on Instagram... I mean there's a whole world out there which I don't just want to disconnect from and become some sort of hermit...
