    It's possible. All a matter of cultural trends. If everyone starts watching "Mountain Men" and decide that's the way they want to live, then society would shift towards that direction.

    But it would require a significant cultural shift where "technology" becomes taboo...which clearly isn't the case right now (e.g. people lining up for the latest iPhone every few months)

    I like living in a warm well lit house. I like being able to go places on my own in my car. I won't be going back soon.
