This episode definitely resonates with younger viewers who grew up with the Internet, and how many people these days (especially kids) are completely dependent on the Internet. Kids these days really need to know that there's a life outside the Internet. (At least Brain, Alberto, and D.W. seem to realize that.) Not only do kids these days often not play outside, but many of them don't even watch TV anymore because of things like Netflix.

While I've become extremely dependent on the Internet, I do remember life before it (I didn't become a regular Internet user until I was in middle school). I was able to find other things to do to have fun. My teachers often preferred students to read books when doing research instead of using the Internet because many kids became distracted by everything that's on the Internet. I know I did.

I remember in one season 16 episode, Ms. Turner said that some things can still only be found in books. That's actually very true - even today.
