A modern personal computer can read anything that anyone else has put on the 'net'. All it needs is a connection to the net, which it can get through telephone lines, or, if the telephone lines have been cut, through radio waves. Radio does not believe in borders any more than the infobahn does, and there are already net 'feeds' through computer-oriented Amateur Radio operators. Personal computers make it easy for individuals to take different data and combine them into a document. That is, a personal computer makes it a snap to write an article or even a magazine or a book, as professionally as any on the newsstand, if you and your contributors have the writing skill.
Computers are cheap and easy to build.
Networks make it easy for individuals to publish information of any kind, as well as get to information of any kind. Networks are not quite cheap yet, but they are very easy to build, and will become incredibly cheap to set up once they become necessary. Public Key Encryption makes it easy for individuals to converse over these public networks, and keep their conversation private, even from the powerful computers that governments have access to. Public Key Encryption is cheap, and well on its way to being as easy as pie. And as American as pie, or, the rifle.
