I went to a talk by Jeff Wilson a couple of months ago. He's testing the hypothesis that you can have a fulfilling existence and actually experience more freedom through minimal living. While even he acknowledges that a 36 sq. ft. dumpster is on the very extreme end, he hopes that the experiment and the conversation around it will help us to to find practical ways for technology and culture to progress towards being more minimal.

By the way, his talk was much more interesting/enjoyable than I'd anticipated, and you can watch it here: http://creativemornings.com/talks/prof-dumpster/1. The Q&A part was pretty interesting too, but unfortunately it looks like that didn't make it into the recording.
