    Imagine living in the 2020’s in the developed world and not realizing that internet access is a basic necessity.

    Then imagine being the sort of person who would deny poor people basic necessities

      (Edit 2: /s would apparently have been the appropriate indicator of my lack of seriousness. TIL!)

    We’re is this technology related? It’s completely political - something I don’t want to see, but now also technology cannot be followed anymore, as most things here are political news with a tech keyword in the headline sadly :/

      But isn’t broadband access one of the main requirements for using technology? I understand not wanting to interact with politics, but nothing in our life is truly separated from it.
