OFFLINE AND OTHER OFFS (# 74,994)

There is a connectivity pandemic riddling the planet. I noticed it one morning with my initial disappointment then subsequent elation of wi-fi-less-ness in a cafe. Online is a dilution of life, a watery cordial as opposed to thee freshly squeezed reality ‘with juicy bits + pulp’. ‘Off’ is not always a huff or a mould or a separation. Off is independence, freedom, experimentation, spontaneity. Off grid, off the cuff, off piste, offal, and so off.
