Regardless of the environmentalists push to keep wireless out. I think you're right about the individual's responsibility. It's going to be a choice rather than a requirement.

The last time I was up in the Anderondecks I was a little frustrated that I needed to use a pay phone in order to pay a credit card bill I had forgotten about at the local store. I complained to the owner, who happened to have been a town elected official. He informed me that they keep denying the phone companies proposition to put in place infrastructure to support cell phones. Mind you they do have high speed internet there. So as long as they keep denying it then there will be a place to "unplug". On another point, there are many camp sites that are boat access only in middle of national parks that can only be reached after a 25 minute + boat ride. If environmental lobbyist keep having their way then I don't foresee any infrastructure going in to national parks. Unless everything goes directly through satellite. Then it is up to each individual to have their own personal "unplugged" day. As far as I know, localities have to approve infrastructure improvements.

I hope I can relay that concept of disconnecting from the world to my kids as well. It's not going to be easy.

I really enjoyed going camping for a week or so and disconnecting myself. I plan on passing this experience along to the little Avi's one day.
