I lived like a hermit for a week - and it revealed a scary reality about life in 2016

Kate TaylorI ventured beyond these four walls just once during my mini-hermitage.It's easy to live like a hermit in 2016. More than that - it's fantastic.

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.
