    Those of us who remember the 3-channels TV era and tubes are laughing at this.

    Of course, those of us who remembered horse-drawn wagons and lanterns were laughing at our parents.

    Regardless, I regard electricity as critical but the rest is just entertainment--except the cel phone which is needed for emergencies, and no consumer is "hosting" that themselves.

    Cell Phones are great, for personal emergencies. Wide spread emergencies, tend to kill cell phone reliability. That's where the Ham Radio operators come in.

    Some people work from home via the internet, at which point a router can actually be a critical piece of hardware, along with your computer. Both of which could be a Raspberry Pi. At this point, I'd be hesitant to suggest a Raspberry Pi as a main desktop, though.
