If it was something that really bugged me and I needed to know the information to, I would go to the library and look up books about it. I also forced myself to go out more and appreciate the simple things in life. I almost wished at one point that I could just fully go off the grid but I didn't take it that far.

That sounds like a very good thing to do in todays society. Seriously the amount of technology is overwhelming and like you I find myself finding out information that really makes no difference to me whether i know it or not. While I think continuing the lack of technology for a long period of time is pointless and just shows a lack of self control, what you did seems very beneficial to what you do and do not need in life. I think at some point this summer I will do the same thing.
Just dont end up like this dude from Into the Wild....DEAD
