The dream is to have a house in the woods or mountains away from all people and isolated enough that it's a pain for anyone to come to where you are. The problem with that dream is all the work and conveniences are where people tend to cluster. You are giving up things like short commutes, things to do, and local conveniences for the luxury of quiet solitude and privacy. The way I see it is you need '**** you money' to realistically and comfortably live in a remote place.
No good internet.. I'm out.
There are a lot of people still on dial-up and satellite.

Realistically, it's possible to survive anywhere with 500 Kilobyte / sec.

You can survive with zero, doesn't mean I want to.
@500k just to update an antivirus can take 15minutes or more, that's if nothing else is being used. I can't imagine using Win10 on a connection like that.

Personally, my absolute bare minimum is 3 megs but 6-8 is a better experience. Anything above that is gravy.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
