An "outgoing person" is not one that spends all their time sat in front of computer screen. ( nor is one that spends all their time on (anti)social media)

The UK government is a leader in that respect as its web pages, online tax returns ...etc. accommodate providing a similar experience when accessed by a very wide range of browsers/devices.
Except for job seekers allowance as mentioned.

This reminds me of Tom Lehrer doing his Werner Von Braun schtick... " I make the rockets that go up... I do not control where they come down". It takes one genius to make something, but a thousand fools know how to break it. Thus, the internet.
