It's just a sign of the times...I need to stay connected for my work, and if I can get Internet access on the road sometimes that means the difference between camping and staying home.
We have a cellular signal booster to bring in the cell signal when in remote areas, and we also have a flat screen TV, DVD player, etc. That doesn't mean that we sit inside and watch TV and surf the net all day....that means if a client calls and needs help, I can take 30 mins and help him, and then enjoy the rest of the day camping. If it's too rainy or cold to have a campfire, it's nice to watch a movie after dinner sometimes.
None of the above requires being plugged in to a CG outlet or running a generator...it all runs off of the batteries through the inverter.
Our non-camping friends joke and say "That's not roughing it!" We say we make no pretense about "roughing it." Where is it written that you have to suffer like a martyr just to enjoy some peace and quiet in the forest or at the beach?
