- What is its purpose?
To give older people in rural places in England the chance to see and use a computer.
- How it relates o the digital divide.
Many countries that are rural and out of the way do not have access to the internet or computers.
- Who are its main target clients?
Older people who are thinking about using computers to help them do things easier or just want to learn about a computer before deciding if it is worth getting one with internet access etc or not at all.
- What are its strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths: Brings people knowledge of computers.
Allows people to use computers more effectively.
Allows people to keep in contact with relatives and business partners etc...
Weaknesses: They might not want this invasion of technology.
They might want to stay with what they have and the "old way of life"
They might not want people coming into the towns to teach them about things they really don't want because they think people are just trying to sell them things.
- What improvements could be made?
To promote it better so more people will go and learn and become better with computers, this will allow them to better themselves. The best way for people to understand the digital divide is to show them what they are missing after they have not had it before.
If more people in the UK know about computers and how it has changed their lives for the better the more they will want the lower developed countries to get the stuff they have gained to better themselves.
