The internet is wonderful if you know how to use it, so for that reason, no I wouldn't delete it.

Things were simpler before the Internet. I feel like People on average were happier before it, but I'm not sure I'd delete it

Nope. The issue isn't the internet, it isn't guns, or cars, or cows, or social media. The issue is people, people who aren't being raised properly. Let's not try to fix the symptom, let's fix the actual issue.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I'd keep the internet if only to have driving directions without pulling out a paper map.
