"Unfortunately, there are still many areas in the developing world that have neither computers nor a reliable electricity supply. Thus, in spite of the rapid development of information and communications technologies, the gap between "the haves and have-nots" continues to blight isolated areas (those outside a capital city). In these areas, the appropriate solution to information access is still printed material.
