People lived thousands of years before Mr Gore invented the internet.

One can surprise himself when required to give up things they think they can't live without. Regarding disasters, you best make other plans and learn how to use, oh I don't know say a PAY PHONE ... or camp stove or such things because you may indeed be required to live not only without internet, but stove and phones, for example.

"Home is where the dog is" ... regardless of what other luxury I may have.
