It took a long while for me to actually realise or rather take note of how fortunate I am. Truth is many of us are blessed to be able to have basic computer skills, the fact that we can operate windows and various programmes at great ease, gives us such an advantage in the work place. What then happens to those that can't even go on google? how will they survive in this cruel world of ours?
It is easy to take for granted things that have been in your environment for as long as you can remember. I then took it upon me to search for statistics about this situation in South Africa, I really wanted to know how bad the numbers were and if anyone is doing something to close the gap. I found various programmes that are helping in this cause, programmes like:

computer literacy is a basic need in this modern day and age technology is taking over and i believe kids who are computer literate have a better chance of adapting easily in the workplace than those who dont victory loves preparation
As my mom once said, "Computers have become a neccesity, and no longer a luxury." Pity my little sister doesn't like computers. She's six and its as a "subject" at school... I think it's a great iniative. Now I understand that it's all for the better. Great stuff
it is a good thing that some organisations have decided to help with getting computers into schools to prepare kids for the work enviroment, now they just need to reach more schools and schools need to find teachers who can teach computer literacy well.
In this day and age, being computer literate comes as a requirement even when you're applying for a job post. We are living in a highly technological society which is dominated by computers, so computer literacy is becoming a need.
Like i said in the blog, if one is not computer literate than interacting with everyone else.
lol your sister will surely grow into it, soon the problem would be filtering the many inappropriate sites available.
i tink its actually a great thing, the gap between poverty and the rich is still way to big, so its time even the big shots stood up and made a change
the minute we stop seeing computers as machines but as a friend everything will be better. We'll be able to accept them more and work them accordingly.
