And thanks for a good long read to share!

I've often pondered what it would be like to literally go 'off-the-grid'; to renounce modern communications (social media, email, SMS etc), and just have an honest job, live in a cabin in the woods, and not be bombarded with constant streams of digital consciousness.

Then I realise how much there is yet to learn in what is a finite period of existence, and I can't ell but utilise the advancement mankind has made to further 'unlock' more of this knowledge. 50 years ago I would've had to be born into a filthy rich family in order to gala can't the worlds libraries and cities to learn, to read, to see, to experience. These days, I can learn more backstory and history, and then know I'll be interested going somewhere when I have the time and money.

From what I've read, it's very difficult to truly go off-the-grid. It's a subject that interests me and my paranoid mind.

Glad you enjoyed.
