In the current world, even a bochur needs at least minimal access to web-based apps for purposes of updates on emergency situations, online banking and bill pay, summoning an Uber/Lyft for transportation needs, purchasing an airline ticket or changing reserverations, etc. Those who question the need for ANY computer or smart phone either live in a cave or suggesting others do so.
Tell that to the thousands of yeshiva bochurim who don’t have regular access to the internet.
You are the one living in a cave if you think bochurim can’t live without it.
