There's no real distinction anymore between "online" and "offline".  If I'm near my tower computer and we're not in the middle of a storm, I've got internet.  If I've got my laptop and I'm near a coffee shop or college campus, I've got internet.  If I've got my iPhone and I'm not in the middle of a desert, I've got internet.<p>It's a major shift from 10-15 years ago, when you weren't online unless you were on your desktop computer and dialed in, and a major shift from even 5 years ago, when you weren't online unless you were on your desktop computer.
