Getting rid of my laptop and internet for a few weeks and I expect to make a living how?

This is part of the problem. People feel trapped in their ecosystems. Despite the value added, the technology is suffocating a lot of people (think broader than just "Tech Workers" too).
I think that this is for certain true but the solution of the problem is where the onteresting part is because most people do not want to go and live im a cabin
Taking a break from your laptop doesn't mean you become a hermit in the woods.
i've got a desktop computer at my office. it's still "having a computer", but i find there's a good difference between having a computer that you think of as "yours" versus a computer that's just a work tool.

i've also got a laptop right now, but i've gone years at a time without having a personal computer at home. it's perfectly doable.
