Well, the Gnostics thought that the human body was only a temporary shell for your soul and that the matters of the physical world were second in importance to your physical body. They thought you should spend your lives self-absorbed in contemplation so that you could receive the "gnosis" or "knowledge" to free your inner self from the shackles of the the body.
Maybe our soul is what really matters. Sure, we as human being have immediate physical needs like food and water, and we need to engage in the physical world to be sure that these needs are filled. People need breaks. They need the escape. They need to implode sometimes! Besides, what makes the internet any different from the book or the movie or the deeply involved conversation? All1 involve the human stepping outside of their physical bodies!
