Should I Turn Off the Internet? (Lessons From a Family That Did) | Monday Advice
About this episode
Cal Newport explores the implications of turning off the internet at home through an interview with Chris Moody, who has embraced a no-internet lifestyle.

But is this even possible? And what would it really be like? In this episode, Cal seeks answers to these questions by talking to Chris Moody, a journalism professor at Appalachian State, who lives with his wife and young son in a cabin with no internet, television, or cellular signal.
