The digital savage

I imagine a primary forest where a small house stands. Life here starts with the rise of the sun. Wood needs to be chopped. Fish needs to be caught. A fire needs to be lit. The sun sets, the stars come out. All around the sound of nature is the soundtrack of existence. Rain, crickets, birds and wind... leaves rattle.
I turn on my flatscreen... no wires, HD quality... it's hooked up to the Net. I converse, download and upload. I listen to music that is pouring out of my speakers hidden inside my wooden walls.
At night I sit outside... I fool around with some musical instruments... my pets are playing around me. The world is at my fingertips at a moments click, but I am far away from them living the life of a 'savage' in the digital age.
I yearn to merge what I have experienced in the tribal societies of this planet with the good things from the digital societies. Some might see them as clashing, I see them as merging.
It's a possibility for anyone that wants it, and I do!
