Most People Still Use Dialup

Where I live I can only get dialup; to download anything these days I
have to go to a wifi spot.

Just now I'm downloading the 1 GB Epson Printer Drivers from Apple's
downloads page; despite being the only customer in the place, Firefox
estimates the download will require 18 hours.

I have a Facebook friend who lives in West Africa.  He has decent
connectivity but only from a cybercafe.  He has no way to save his own
documents because no one sells flash drives there.

There are many places in the world where one can get online with a
smartphone but again have no way to save any documents they download.

When I was the Product Development Manager for Working Software I kept
twelve people employed despite that I only had a 40 MB hard drive.
