Small addition

Just to add a small modification to my previous post, I would like to add the concern of Morocco about those computers. They would be in fact very useful to the Moroccan rural areas. Morocco needs a push towards development, including the introduction of young children to new technologies. The problem is, those children do not even have an appropriate schooling, so how are they supposed to reach the level of using computers? The machine sure is user friendly, but the problem here lies in the people, not the means. In fact, as we discussed in a previous class, it is clear that if a better educational approach is not used, the level of education stagnates, and even those computers may not help. The computer is a means among others. A very helpful means, sure, yet only a means that still needs other factors to lead to its main goal.
