I agree with you but think there should be more emphasis on connectivity.
In the 80's and 90's (less so of course in the 90's) if you got a computer virus it was probably from sharing software ... on a floppy disk. I used a Mac during those decades and like other software viruses were rare on that platform. :-/
The internet changed everything. Not only does the internet serve up compromised software it provides the back-channel so the malware can phone home.
I don't have any suggestions or any sort of panacea. It's nice sometimes just to reflect on how computing used to be. Back before passwords, sandboxes....
