tl;dr: go camping once in awhile.

I see that you are getting downvoted, it may be beacuse you don't add to the discussion, but to be fair the article doesn't offer more than the above line.

Thank you. I am in my 30s and I read blog posts by many super intelligent but perhaps sheltered younger individuals that seem to just be discovering life's insights .... that are second nature to me. My family has always gone camping, for instance.

You are right, there's nothing more to it. It's really simple :)

[gbaygon]

Maybe it sounded harsh, it's not, your sibling comment explains it better. I'm also (almost) in my 30s ;)

[akonan]

I don't think it's harsh at all :) I'm too (well) on my 30s and I've been thinking about these things a lot. I'll write a blog post on the subject later, because simple vs complex solution thing intrigues me.

no doubt - I purposely find campgrounds without cell coverage... if a network is there, I'll use it.

Believe it or not, there are still lots of areas in the Sierra Nevadas that meet this qualification - ~4hr drive from Silicon Valley.
