>One to Zero : from the 21st century to the Dark Ages, instantly. This is life for billions in the developing world, connected to aging electric grids. One minute you’re in Islamabad watching Netflix while facetiming on your iPad. The next instant, the power goes out. Your Wi-Fi router, lighting, wall mount TV, fridge, air conditioner are off. It’s 115 F. Welcome back to the Dark Ages.

Most people in the "developing world" don't have neither wifi, nor air conditioning. In fact almost a billion lives in shanty towns, in make-shift "homes".

I think saying most people in the developing world don't have wifi or air conditioning is an overgeneralization.

I've lived in Ghana and currently in Zambia and people do have WiFi, 4G and airb conditioning. Granted there are large populations that don't have great homes, the need for electricity (hospitals) is great.

For example, at the teaching hospital in Lusaka, there isn't even running water.

I wish OP best of luck and will be rooting for him.

That's only in the bigger cities, and the circles expats are commonly associated with. And not even there for a sizable majority. And Ghana is one of the most developed (and less war-torn) parts of Africa.
