No place you can ever be off-grid.
So Peter, I know you're backpacking in Patagonia, but we're really gonna need that TPS report by COB. Mmkay? Greeaat.
We need a new term instead of grid... globe? digital globe? data sphere?
Off globe? That does sound like an attractive option sometimes hahaha
Well, if you don't have a receiver, you're off grid.
It's like saying you can't go off grid because there will always be an AM station you can pick up.
Of course you are right. I was thinking about how it's become less socially acceptable to remain disconnected as the "grid" has encroached on spaces that used to be free of it.
