I was just thinking something similar when I saw your comment. Should we go back to old school internet/networking? Text based documents? Depends if it's just internet, or also a power outage.
I am sure it never hurts to to able to use a command line, and script things.
Then, in addition, I would recommend to research Linux and HAM-radio. You might find that these two go well together and can provide a surprise.
Internet is a matter of access and speed. How that is done, is a different question. The more we move from autarkism (decentralized) into centralized systems, the more increased our dependence on the decisions of others will be.
Besides, internet is a service that is hardly something relevant to the core of human-life.
one addition:
Technically this all could run on 12 or 24 volts ....
Now I'm going to have to go and look for that Linux/HAM-Radio surprise. Help me before I go on a wild goose chase.
Definitely agree that we need to use decentralized systems. There used to be a phone app that used bluetooth or personal hot spot to communicate without the telco network. I think there are other apps that do it as well.
You're right. Internet isn't actually a core requirement, but it would be nice to have comms.

Yes indeed. It is called a meshnetwork.
Especially in action situations is can be a very useful tool.
Search videos with linux hanradio howto.
Of.course no.silver bullets exist.
Serval Mesh for short range cellphone comms.
I doubt it would be a complete power outage. Basic utilities would probably stay up and running.
