(Gradually) going 'off grid'?
Discussion
Anyone else doing it?
Partly over privacy concerns but mostly for my mental health, I'm trying to give consideration to my over reliance on tech and privacy naeivity:
- moving away from Gmail
- deleted Facebook
- reducing smart phone use
- changed browsers (to Duck Duck Go)
I know it can come across a bit 'tinfoil hat' but as time goes on I am finding myself more and more concerned about online privacy and the detrimental effects of being 'always online' - two different yet interconnected worries I suppose!
Anything else I should be doing (not quite at the 'recycling my own p*ss stage yet!)?
Anyone else also taking steps to make changes?
And yes, I guess I am aware of the irony of posting this on a public forum, from a smartphone, on the internet, at the weekend when I SHOULD be outside, getting some fresh air.
