    Theory Underground has a concept they call &amp;quot;Internet 4.0&amp;quot; which is something I want to embrace. It&amp;#39;s a physical place (or a series of them) with a permanent presence for people to be able to &amp;quot;disconnect.&amp;quot; Take an online community, make a place for it, and then make the digital aspect of that community an optional fixture of the community.
