Surviving without the internet in South Korea

Could you live without the internet for a whole week? No email. No Facebook. No TheTakeaway.org.

As part of the BBC’s “Superpower” season, which is looking at how the internet has changed the world, these two families were asked to cut themselves off from the Internet for a whole week.

The BBC’s John Sudworth had to persuade them to take the challenge; he joins us from the South Korean capital, Seoul.
