Unfortunately your opinion, to which you certainly are entitled, in is a
bit off base (in my opinion). I'm sorry you tire of people who just don't
get it by using technology. Not everyone has the same communication access,
(yes, one of your solutions is a local library), but what if mobility is an
issue, or some other issue. Unfortunately you can't lump everyone into one
category with a solution as everyone is different, has different wants and
needs and yes there are some people who prefer not to be enlightened by the
marvels of the internet. One size does not fit all, and I feel sorry for
those individuals who feel the need to fix everything, which in their opinion
needs fixing (much like our Government). When you really get down to it,
everything in life is a choice.
