Do you really think that "anyone without a computer doesn't want one, they can afford one!"
Have you ever been into any of the NYC projects? Do you really not know anyone who has to balance buying food with paying rent? Don't you have any idea at all how many really poor people are out there? Or do they just not exist because you can't find them online? ANd no, the NYC public schools in those areas don't have many computers. They have a few, but the kids come from homes where they don't have one, so they have no idea how they work, and one 45 minute period a week with 28 kids and one teacher, and 5 computers, doesn't get anyone very far.
