Abstract :
Once upon a time, getting off the grid usually meant isolationists and survivalists trying to live without any kind of interaction with society. Today it is better understood this is an all-encompassing issue for all of society. Recently, movie stars like Daryl Hannah, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carmen Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, and others have made it fashionable to be off the grid. Ed Begley Jr.’s off the grid TV show demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of being off the grid.
