About this episode

Who is unconnected from technology? We search for person in New York City who is unconnected to technology. No cell phone, no Web, no computer. 9 Min. When the Web goes down, or our phones die we feel isolated, unconnected. This may be good for a vacation, but it's increasingly a bad feeling in our normal day to day developed world, eespecially here in New York City where cell phones are like wrist watches in the 1950s, everyone has one, it's just what style and brand you like. But there is a world around us that we can connect to without technology and we did for the last few million years. It's pretty much the world in your field of view, one could call it "physical reality."Are there people in my field of view who live in this unconnected alter universe all the time? What is it like to not have a cell phone or Web access? Do they have a social network? How do they communicate? What do they think of us as we walk around talking on our phones? Lets find out.
