The internet software being out-of-date, not supporting current features, not having bug fixes, not fixing security holes. And, if you want to add new software, it not being available for an older release.
But if you're isolated, e.g. a computer that's nothing more than a word processor and printer, then it doesn't need updating if it already does what you want it to do, reliably.
