The must-have gadget thread made me wonder if people here would ever go to places which didn't have reliable connectivity or even electricity.

Or would be inclined to consider other destinations where there were no such restrictions.

I guess we can't do polls here. Comedians used to joke about how people couldn't go camping because they wouldn't be able to plug in their TVs or other electric conveniences.

Maybe even 15-20 years ago, there would still be a lot of places in developed countries which didn't offer any connectivity, even as the dot com boom was gaining all kinds of momentum.

Even today, you'll see hotel reviews with complaints about Wifi signals being weak or absent in the rooms.

Not only that, more and more people are seeking mobile roaming (either through local SIMs or international data roaming deals) in various countries so that they'll always be connected.


How many here would rule out destinations where there wasn't going to be connectivity (or reliable electricity)?

Say cruises or climbing some peaks somewhere or safaris? Or maybe some areas in the developing world?
