Solution for the Digital Divide

One solution is to make a class of computer and teach the people who are not really experienced with computers. Software installations and other operations that require only moderate amounts of technical knowledge. But this solution needs lot of funds and other staff problems. Like teachers; this class might not get a good teacher which able to teach people who doesn’t know the computers. Not only staff, technical problems will be happening to. Since most of non-computer users are village people or poor peoples. So they can’t afford to pay for all the technical stuffs. So this class has to consider the funds carefully and afford the computers and staffs. Also this class can get a cheap laptop from which MIT maded. If Goverment will paticipate in this work, students could get a laptop to study computers.
