I feel many residents would agree with me and my complaint about news items, magazine references, TV programs with interesting subject matter, etc. that the ordinary citizen would like to look into for further information but do not have a computer, and a computer Web site is the only place to get further information.
I understand from an experience today that the library and post offices will no longer have income tax forms and they can only be obtained on the computer. Goodness, what about us who have no computer but have an interest in or need a copy of something read, seen on TV or otherwise? Why do all outlets assume that everyone has a computer?
I know probably 90 percent of people have access to one, but what about the rest of us. Very unfair I would say. How about giving us an 800 phone number or an address where we might obtain further information about the subject matter.

Internet access at home is one of the most telling areas that show up the divide between haves and have-nots in this country, but libraries are working hard to do their part to give access to everyone. "
