    1.8 billion people joined us here on the Internet since 2014
This would suggest that the solution is to wait until about August 2016 when the rest of the planet finishes coming on board at that rate. But 2014 appears to be a typo; it should have been 2004. The Washington Post also mentions that about 10% of Americans choose not to go online.

It's been a long time since I have gone a week without using the Internet. I think it would be a worthwhile challenge to go a day or two now. Anybody want to give it a try?
