Well heck, let's just get rid of the Internet altogether. Just unplug from the Net, and you don't have to worry about spam, malware, or any of the other annoyances and dangers of having your computer connected to the world. People lived and worked before there was an Internet, after all. Olden days of 1995? Why not the olden days of 1985? Or 1905?

Your suggestion, while factually accurate, is more or less impractical in the real world. Social networking is here to stay.
