The act of getting a computerphobic adult to incorporate email into
their lives is a much, much more complicated process than putting a
computer in their face and online services (advanced or not) down the
street. Most of us were gifted with access and training on computers
either at work or school. We are asking computer illiterate adults
of today to come up with the money, the time, and the drive to develop
this capacity on their own.
I hope the Markle Foundation will look at the access challeng as more
than simply supplying equipment and telecommunication services.
