In the UK the British Government has gone Internet/Paperless Mad in its attempt to save operating costs.

Unemployed people will soon have to apply for their Benefit entitlements using a Government Internet website and to continue receiving their benefit payments must submit their employment search records online as well. Payments will be paid directly into a bank account. Many people may not have either a Bank Account or an Internet Connection.

The Inland Revenue (Mr Tax man) have recently made it almost impossible to submit a paper Personal/Company Tax Return and Company accounts. Now a one size fits all online return in a Inland Revenue format, which in many circumstances does not work is now required.

The Banking sector has been closing most its local branches forcing people to use Internet Banking services or have a very long round trip to the nearest bank branch, which also in many circumstances does not work with bank to bank transactions due to cuts in its IT and back office departments.

Internet shopping has left the City Centre shopping areas through out the land almost desolate, leaving only charity shops, Pawn Shops, Pay day lender shops, Coffee dens, the last of the Bank Branches and Globalist Fast food restaurants

Not having an Internet Connection could pose a serious issue in the ability to function within society especially in the UK. For those that do have an Internet connection, the stress of having to deal with what is essentially corporate organisation back office web based IT systems could prove very frustrating especailly if you can't even use a computer keyboard.
