Heck, even in the area I live, I know many that don't have internet, for various reasons.
These people now have access to computers and internet and can be part of modern life in that way. There were a lot of older folks apparently too that showed up to get the hang of going online.
If it wasn't such a drive for me, I would check this one out. But I hate driving here.

BS. It would not even be true if you said the area was the block the Library is on. Even if broadband were not available, which it is, everyone there has access to landlines. There are even free WiFi "Hot Spots" and plenty of cell towers and access. There are a large range of computers available in shops large and small, at surprisingly low prices on the south side. Plus tons of "used" computers. The existence of a government program provides an opportunity for those who are good at scamming the system, but most of the "poor" who want computers and internet for themselves and their kids have them already. If you read articles about a program, of any kind, and don't realize that the reporter is just using the data and even the copy provided by those promoting the program, you are being very gullible.
