Off-the-grid is a system and lifestyle designed to help people function without the support of remote infrastructure, such as an electrical grid.

In electricity, off-grid can be stand-alone power system or mini-grids typically to provide a smaller community with electricity.

Off-grid electrification is an approach to access electricity used in countries and areas with little access to electricity, due to scattered or distant population.

People who adopt this lifestyle are called off-gridders.

Self-sufficiency (also called self-containment) is the state of not requiring any aid, support, or interaction for survival; it is a type of personal or collective autonomy.

On a national scale, a totally self-sufficient economy that does not trade with the outside world is called an autarky.

The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication.

The technologies through which this communication takes place include a variety of outlets.

Electronic mail, or email, is a method of exchanging digital messages between people using digital devices such as computers and mobile phones.

Email first entered substantial use in the 1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email.

Email operates across computer networks, which today is primarily the Internet.

Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging.

Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model.

Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages.

Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a mail server or a webmail interface, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture.

Gardening is considered to be a relaxing activity for many people.
