Washington, May 3 (ANI): A 26-year-old writer at The Verge, a technology site, just did the seemingly impossible - he survived a year without the Internet.
Paul Miller didn't read e-mail, type a word into Google, or download apps.
He never saw Obama tweet his re-election victory, watched a "Harlem Shake" video or had even seen a Vine.
He lived his entire year-a full 365 days-offline in hopes of finding out more about himself and focusing on some other activities.
But Wednesday, Miller rejoined the rest of us digital nomads and reconnected the WiFi on his laptop and iPad.
ABC News spoke to Miller when he was just starting his journey last year and decided to catch up with him again to find out what he learned, how it went, and what he is looking forward to the most on the Internet again.
"I avoided looking at people's screens all the time. Even when people tried to show me Instagrams on their phones I always looked away. I didn't use the Internet for a year," he said.
He said that he wanted to read a lot and educate himself. In this one year he got some reading and some writing done.
However, he says he is not a transformed person.
Now that he is re-connecting with the virtual world, he is looking forward to seeing the big things he missed this year. (ANI)
