It was too late for my own, think I lost it several decades ago, but it did keep a few of my remaining brain cells active.
I'm now living on a remote beach in the southern islands of the Philippines; no internet, no cable television, no land-line phones, not even postal service. A community populated by those whom in America would be called "hermits", even though there are plenty of children around. If I want to get anything done on the web, I have to make a 3-hour round-trip to the city.

After the rat race of business, etc., in Europe and the USA; it's definitely relaxing. The electric company has to send a meter reader out with a portable printer in order to give electric bills. Since there's no postal service, there's no junk mail, etc. We also have no police department or any other government presence with the exception of a token community leader who really doesn't have a job. Not even sure who it is, even though I've visited the office a few times.
