We cannot live without internet (how else will you study science?), But still almost half of the world's population is connected. There are many reasons for this, including economic and social reasons, but some are simply not accessible to the Internet because they have no connection.
Google is slowly trying to solve the problem by using helium balloons to beam through the Internet to inaccessible areas, while Facebook has abandoned plans to use drones, meaning that hibernation Companies like are stealing a march. They have taken a different approach by launching their network of showbox-size microsatellites into low Earth orbit, waking up a modem plugged into your computer or device when it flies and saves your data.
Their satellites orbit the Earth 16 times a day and are already being used by organizations such as the British Antarctic Survey to provide Internet access to the very extreme of our planet.
