As someone who lives at the end of the digital dirt road, I agree.52 weeks a year without real Internet, though, is a real PITA.
In a way that only those in rural parts of this globe can truly appreciate.
Yah, everything I do is in the cloud and some of it is saved locally as well. I take a picture on my phone and it techno-magically appears on my PC to share here!Unless you were foolish enough to buy into the "everything in the cloud" trend.

The cloud just means someone else's computer.

Wish me luck.
Nearly 20 years agoI requested a provider to connect us here on the farm.
I got a wonderful letter from what was then Time Warner Cable, explaining that the population density here excluded us from inclusion in being required to connect us, but for ( what computed to be >$42,000) they would be willing tp run the cable the extra 3/4 mile up the hill. This included me getting my 5 neighbors between here and town to also sign on.
The $42k was for all 6 of us.
I intended to matt and frame the letter, but Colleen tossed it out in anger.
needless to say, we remain Internet-less out here,except for a spotty cell service.
With the world's current events I prefer to keep my most important transactions and records where they can be printed out, even without an internet connection.
