Think back to the recent pandemic.

Work? Online. School? Online. Recreational activities? Online. Talking to loved ones you don’t live with? Online. Birthday party? Online. Nonfood shopping? Online. Banking? Paying taxes and bills? Online. Job interview? Doctors appointment? Online. Dating? You guessed it, online.

The internet’s a big thing these days.

A lot of these don't have any legitimate reason for your ID. Banking and job sure, but those will ask for it offline too.

How true this is probably varies a whole lot from person to person.

Very few of the things you list are things that I do primarily online (even during the pandemic), and none of those are things that I can only do online.
