Like many of his generation, Paul Miller spent most of his life, actively using the Internet. He was constantly online from 12, and at 14 was already working as a web designer. But in 26 years, Miller realized that his life "there is something missing in his life". Then he decided to make a bold and somewhat scary step - to disconnect the network cable and live without the Internet for one year.

However, the result of the experiment shows that modern man seems to be easier to give up the money and property than the Internet.
