Sure; books are for entertainment only, without a ctrl+f they are vastly inferior to the internet if you know how to research. I couldn't go a week without novels, though...something about the weight and the feel and the smell of the paper, you just can't emulate that with an e-book reader.
Without the news you wouldn't be knowledgeable about anything in the real world. You would rather just shrug it off and play ignorant?
Music is everywhere even in places you don't think they are and they might even influence your decisions. Have you ever hummed a beat or known at least one song? That's music too. Or the ringtone on your phone or the alarm that you use to wake up. Music itself doesn't have to be only for entertainment and it has other purposes to it. Comparing mainstream music (top 40 hits) to other types of music such as religious, rock, metal, etc is just plain idiotic. While the internet may be superior in types of enlightenment, books have preceded it and have taught people for thousands of years. They're not "useless" at all.
