I think Matej is right. Poor connection and small devices remain a reality
Also just as telephones get more powerful people develop new small devices. I would think that smart watches and whatever else will eventually attract attention by one developer or another.

Except when we do … how is that Internet working in the rural
India? I thought that particularly sword-related applications are
meant to work for missionaries in environment hostile not only
from the legal point of view.

We are told that [St. Anthony] once fell into dejection, finding
uninterrupted contemplation above his strength; but was taught to
apply himself at intervals to manual labour by a vision of an
angel who appeared platting mats of palm-tree leaves, then rising
to pray, and after some time sitting down again to work; and who
at length said to him, “Do thus, and thou shalt be saved.”
