How To Remove Yourself From The Internet
Have you ever thought of removing yourself from the Internet? Maybe not, but more and more people feel the noise from an increasing number of streams and services, and the pressure of sharing and liking never stops.
Mashable wrote an article about this some time ago with the striking subheading: “You can kill your digital social life—but it may not be worth it.” And here is the ingress:

- Say goodbye to social
- Cut the rest
- Deal with losing the convenience
- Accept unintended consequences
