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!
