Why emigrate Online?
Alternative to Living Off The Grid
To emigrate online is the alternative to living “off the grid.”
First, in order to see a complete picture, let’s look at the advantages of living off the grid: you are able to live independently with little or no reliance on governmental organisations and public utilities; you develop skills such as organic gardening, foraging, rainwater harvesting, small-scale composting, basic carpentry, plumbing, construction; and you learn to live connected to nature full time.
The alternative to living off the grid, is obviously to live on the grid: to use public utilities and established infrastructure for services. And in this scenario emigrating online means contributing, adapting, and prospering as a digital citizen on the internet.
It is important to create (instead of only consume) in order to live a balanced life in the digital world; the majority of us seem to be experiencing a slight imbalance in our interaction with the internet.
