While I agree with a lot of what you've said, I think you missed much of the point of the article. It was written by a comedian, and therefore I read it as meaning to be provocative and not to be taken entirely at face-value (eg, the title of the article). Therefore, I think answering something intentionally provocative with another polemic (eg, "move to bumfuck nowhere" etc) only prevents you from engaging with the actual issues being raised in the original piece. What I think the piece really is talking about is where things are headed on the cultural and socio-economic compass for the peons (sic), and how that's being framed through this clever, winking, yet ultimately Orwellian language of the culture that validates and encourages what are arguably destructive social forces: being "always on" and "shut-in"-style social isolation.
