the battle with technology

my recent battle with technology just shows us how far we need to go. My goal is to get everyone in the world connected to the internet, somehow. We've made some progress with the $100 laptop and now mobile apps being everywhere. Until we get a device in every person in the worlds hands which can both read and write to the internet, then all will probably eventually be lost. Technically, it is possible to have a simple device with a screen and a radio and a recording device which can both play and record off the internet. The problem is not the device. The problem is the infrastructure necessary to support the device. That is going to be the biggest problem going forward. We can create simple mobile read/write devices, but how do we connect them to the internet in the wilds of Somalia, when we cant be connected while driving up Page Mill Road??
