However, it is increasingly being used in the context of computer access to refer to access to the Internet and the National Information Infrastructure. There is much debate as to whether it means Internet service in every home or service in every community. Universal service to information technologies is a very interesting, and very complex, topic.

This thesis, however, focuses on access to computers and the training to use computers.
Universal service is a thesis topic unto itself and is too complicated to take on here.
