I traveled through Turkey in 1993. The PTT (phone monopoly) had a saying which doubled as a vision statement: "A phone in every village!" They hadn't met that goal and I'd sometimes roll into these little places where there were no phones at all. But there was always one TV set in the tea house because football. I'm really glad I caught the tail end of pre-internet travel in the '90s. I've been overseas since but it is not the same. The sense of journeying into the unknown is simply gone.
