Common man never had a need for internet or global connectedness. DARPA wanted to push technology to gain upper hand in the world matters. Universities pushed technology to show progress and sell research. Businesses pushed technologies to have more sales. It was kind of acid rain that was caused by the establishments and sold as scented rain.

This sentiment - along the lines of "the world became too dependent on the Internet", "Internet wasn't a good thing to begin with", "Internet is a threat to national security" etc - has been popping up on HN too often lately, emerged too abruptly and correlates with the recent initiatives to crack down on the Internet too well.

If this is your own opinion and not a part of a psyop to condition people into embracing the death of the Internet as we know it, do you have any solution to propose?

You don't need to have a solution to explore a problem in my opinion. OP comment is problematic but for reasons other than not having a proposed solution.
