Yes, I agree with you 100%. It would be wonderful if every PWP had a computer and access to the internet. ANd I regard that as a basic need. For me personally, I think I would stifle without the ablility to communicate with my fellow human beings. And as my hand writing shrinks to nothing, and my voice fades to a mumble, the internet assumes more and more importance. BUT, and this is a great big but, there are many of the basics that some people would consider even more important than computers !!! I refer to housing, food, clothing, medication and CAREGIVERS. From time to time, we see appeals on the list. Or hear stories of people in need. My concern is with those people. What say you?
