American Struggles

I just read a news story on the front page of a major news outlet that details the government's plan to expand broadband internet. The plan is for 9 out of 10 Americans to have broadband by 2020. I am all for this and think that high-speed internet is great. As a matter of fact, if anyone is even reading this you are likely doing so via broadband service.
The part of the story that jumped out at me was that it portrayed a woman in Oklahoma who "struggles" because she does not have broadband. This poor woman has to "do chores" around the house while she waits for images to download to her computer because her internet service is so slow. And the story details the plight of her deprived kids who have to get her to accept their Facebook friends when she goes to work and has access to broadband. It must be nearly unbearable to have to survive under these stressful conditions and amidst these oppressive struggles.
Thankfully many in our world today do not have to face these same trials. Those without computers, for instance, do not have to deal with the stress that a lack of  broadband brings. Those without the availability of electricity are further freed from these trials as they know that even if they possessed a computer they would  not have the means to power it.
And the minds of countless multitudes in our world have been spared from this non-broadband anguish because they are occupied with other thoughts: One-half of the world's population is trying to figure out how to live on less than $2 per day. Today 30,000 people will fight their final battle with starvation. 13 million orphans will wonder about their future and if anyone cares about them. Around the globe others are struggling with malnutrition, no cleaning drinking water, abject poverty, death from preventable diseases, and a whole host of other things. Oblivious that there is even such a thing as broadband internet.
Struggle? Not having broadband can be considered a struggle? I fear only in America would this be considered such. Perspective is everything.
