So while many of us would not miss the internet too much (and probably should spend less time on the net), it is a useful tool and theraputic for a significant percentage of the population.

I totally agree.
Don't get me wrong, not saying we have not benefited from the computer. But just suppose most of the resources that went into developing the computer were instead used to help those people you mention instead? Would those people be in the same position they are in now? probably not I think.
