That's one way of looking at things...
On the other hand computer and internet use (and surely gaming console use as well) are correlated with happiness, but in a negative way.
Ex:
The more we use computers, the less happy we usually end up being.
Anytime the power is interrupted is an excellent opportunity to take a step back from conventional activities and experience life from a different perspective. Humans of some sort have been around for perhaps two million years, but electricity hasn't really been available or useful for most humans for much more than the past one hundred years. Personal computers and the internet as we know it today haven't really been around more than the past ten years. Obviously humans can survive and even thrive without electricity and computers.
Surely playing cards by candle light with your friends and family is far more fulfilling than playing computer during a power outage.
