The article also mentioned poor kids doing worse in school due to not having access to computers and public libraries (why, I'm not sure). Granted, these things can help contribute to education, but the idea that kids can't have a proper education without computers is ludicrous and really pretty funny.

Even if he never sees a computer until he gets to college, a kid with good critical thinking skills should be able to figure out the basic computer skills he needs to survive.
