So let's say you wake up in the morning your phone doesn't work, no internet, no tv, no radio, and no other form of communication works. What do you do?

When I lived in that area I didn't have regular internet until after I graduated community college in the late 90's. And it was dial up! I don't know that I would have survived/thrived if I hadn't moved to a bigger city. Many people are there w/o access to info or opportunity.
Wow I had no idea. I guess internet is something I take for granted and didn't realize how not having it can adversely affect somone and entire communities.

It touches everything now. It prevents me from moving back to that area because I rely on strong internet/wifi to do my job where I work from home. It prevents people from taking online courses because internet/wifi is beyond their reach or adequate strength doesn't exist there.

When I go there(rural NW GA and NE AL) I rent a motel that offers wifi if I have to work while there. It's like a whole different world and it doesn't have to be that way. The world would open if rural areas had affordable access to the internet.
