Changing Expectations: "Why Don't They Have Broadband At My Yoga Retreat?"

Friend of mind taking a much-needed break to contemplate life, disconnect, and get in touch with her self.  She needs this.  How do I know?  Here's a question asked on a recent team call:  "I don't get it.  Why don't they have broadband at my yoga retreat?"

Translation:  She needs to get her Zen on.

I'm told some yoga centers now make people check their cell phones, keychains, mp3 players - and have even taken to going through people's bags - I guess some people feel they can better connect online.
