I don't think it would be a reasonable expression of asceticism to give up the internet in the sense of being a means of communicating with my friends. But I could imagine giving up randomly surfing around, following links, reading blogs and articles that I find interesting but don't have any personal connection to the authors. That would be hard, because I'm massively addicted, but it might possibly make me a better person or even be spiritually fulfilling. I don't talk about an addiction to socializing with my friends, that's wholly a positive thing.
