    Well yea, 50% of the world population doesn't have phone access, and only 25% uses the internet(was 2% 10 years ago)
    Also, it depends on how you define a toilet. Most toilets in my country are basically holes dug into the ground, arranged so that they intersect the sewer. Having a flushing toilet is quite the luxury.

    I don't think anyone can possibly understand what it's possibly like unless they experienced it themselves.
