Facebook and twitter are not essential to life. Wired forgets how 90% of the world lives. The people in this article couldn't find anyone over the age of 40 because they forgot what a phone book looks like... Just read this article, it’s ridiculous.

Next just not use and stop the addiction to the digital communities like Facebook or Twitter. That would cut off about 80% of the possibilities to find anyone. And the rest is all about staying anonimous, doing only jobs that want to be paid unoficially and without being much worse or better than the next guy, paying as much with cash as possible and try to avoid being seen in general.

I guess with all the people trying to find him you could say that would be like trying to disappear when you're wanted by the law, buuuuut- if a well-prepared, determined and disciplined person decided to vanish without attracting the attention of the cops first they'd be damn near impossible to find.
