Access to the internet is probably a godsend to them.

Remember what it was like when you first surfed the world wide web and all that information was at your fingertips?

This will be a great boon to the poor and uneducated.
To us this computer seems like a toy... but to those who have never operated a computer, this probably seems like a miracle.
See, you're proving my point.

This computer is meant for the people who are going to school. People who already have access to the internet.

I would fully support an initiative by the government to provide basic internet to the average person.

This 'computer' doesn't do that.
