    From "A Hard Days Night" (yes, i have most of this movie memorized). just replace "book" with "the interweb."

    GRANDFATHER
    (disgustedly to no one
    in particular)
    Will you ever look at him, sitting there wid
    his hooter scraping away at that book!

    RINGO
    Well ... what's the matter with that?

    GRANDFATHER
    (taking the book from him)
    Have you no natural resources of your own? Have
    they even robbed you of that?

    RINGO
    (snatching back his book)
    You can learn from books.

    GRANDFATHER
    Can you now? Aah ... sheeps' heads! You learn
    more by getting out there and living.

    RINGO
    Out where?

    GRANDFATHER
    Any old where ... but not our little Richard
    ... oh no! When you're not thumping them pagan
    skins, you're tormenting your eyes wid that
    rubbish!

    RINGO
    (defiantly)
    Books are good!

    GRANDFATHER
    (countering)
    Parading's better!

    RINGO
    Parading?

    GRANDFATHER
    (marching up and down the canteen)
    That's it, parading the streets ... trailing
    your coat ... bowling along ... living!

    RINGO
    Well, I am living, aren't I?

    GRANDFATHER
    You're living, are you? When was the last time
    you gave a girl a pink-edged daisy? When did
    you last embarrass a sheila wid your cool
    appraising stare?

    RINGO
    Eh ... you're a bit old for that sort of chat,
    aren't you?

    GRANDFATHER
    At least I've a backlog of memories, but all
    you've got is that book!
