When the "internet", E-mail, and the concept of a global community where people from all walks of life could gain access to information, the poor, marginalized, institutionalized, and otherwise forgotten are still in a carbon paper time warp.

Conservatives do not want to spend the money.

Ask Algore he invented it.
Okay enough fun, I think this was already answered quite well by most. It is available, in more places then anyone probably ever thought it would be.
But if you think the Internet should be an entitlement, you are nuts. We have far to many of those now. If you can't afford a $300 computer, and 9$ a month for a dial up connection, you have bigger problems then not being able to surf porn.

First of all, I would like to address the individual who said, "Because Conservatives don't want to spend the money."
What, exactly, are you talking about?
Personally, I feel that internet access is every bit as free as it needs to be. If you want to go to the public library and sit there on their crappy equipment, then by all means. It's free and easy, the way liberals think everything should be.
But if you want something more high-speed, more user-friendly, maybe something you can use at home, then you have to pay for it, just like the rest of us - But that will never happen until you get to it, and stop complaining that the "conservatives" won't buy it for you.

Take it easy and the power of superhighway is coming and can you imagine that people in the world are on the net.No matter how poor they are,they still find the net cafes around the big cities.Give the net time and it will not be long.Trust me money talks and anything is possible.

The poor, marginalized, insitutionalized and otherwise forgotten - - Need a hell of a lot more of the essentials of life before a Yahoo! account.
I see these folks at the public library all the time. It is simply the desire to gain this resource.

Argh! what proportion situations am I going to get rick-rolled! Oh nicely. Bravo... i might say that's an information superhighway sensation, pondering what proportion situations i've got seen it.... R&S is on the map - it rather is merely like Hell, Michigan - people pass there merely to assert they have survived it!

It's available to anyone who wants it in this country.
If you can't afford a PC there are places you can go to use a PC for free or visit a friend.
There are places where there is no electricity and are too remote to get on the internet.
Do you want to ship a load of PCs to Africa?

there are places in this world that are lucky to have electricity in the first place for anything, much less the internet
when access to clean water, food and shelter are taken care of, people then may care to want the internet
