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
