Another thing that's kind of crazy to think about is that not everyplace has indoor plumbing or electricity. I was in the Amazon in 2012, I think. The leader of Brazil was leading some change to try to get electricity to everyone.

i slept in a villiage in Cambodia where they had a big V8 spinning the generator that powered everything. at a certain time, you hear it shut off and everything went dark. everyone had headlamps. it was awesome.
i remember some locals had cell phones.
