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.
The advantages are that 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.
This is desirable for many people.
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 (not just 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.
