I think there is a difference between "voluntarily accessing information through a global communication network" and "requiring more and more basic life activities to be accomplished through some mediated software layer requiring an always on internet connection".
Most of the article is just complaints about random things including hypotheticals, but also don't think there are really any "basic life activities" that require being always online. Nothing really expects immediate responses to text messages or emails.
Its not so much the "always online" for basic life activities, its the automated/online website/applications that sit between you and the thing you're trying to do that are required to do basic life stuff.
