I lived like a hermit for a week - and it revealed a scary reality about life in 2016
Kate Taylor
With the plethora of delivery apps available, there's really no reason to leave the house any more. So, I decided that for a week, I simply wouldn't leave.
For five days straight, I ordered all of my food via delivery apps. I downloaded all my workout plans. I purchased everything from light bulbs to manicures online, to be delivered and completed in my little apartment in Brooklyn, New York.
The experience was wonderful - but also worrisome. When delivery is everywhere, why should anyone ever leave their home?
Here's what it's like to live like a hermit for a week in the age of apps.
