Yes and if that is what is happening then it will be interesting.
If you look at the date on the link I posted it is 2010, so this is not a new idea and in theory there should have been time to prepare. I haven't been involved for a while, but when I left work there were hubs for ICT access springing up all over the place. Have they all closed down again?
Shysal, clearly your friend is someone who would need help, but to be honest I think it is far too late to change the need to use ICT in everyday life.
I am being a bit provocative here, but isn't technophobia as disabling as agoraphobia, for example? (Before you all shout at me, please bear in mind that I spent a lot of my working life developing ICT for children with special needs including severe disability; I feel very, very strongly about access to ICT for everyone.)
