Yes I agree with you. There clearly is a challenge that these tools exclude a lot of people. Many of those nice features cannot replace existing ways of exchange. From the knowledge sharing perspective face to face exchange is still the most valuable. I wrote a blog post about challenges concerning literacy here: http://www.crisscrossed.net/2008/06/02/digital-divide-connectivity-and-the-different-dimensions-of-literacy/ And I expressed my concerns about exclusion in the new web here: http://www.crisscrossed.net/2008/01/21/7-concerns-about-the-web-in-2008/ Dear Irene, thanks for your comment.

I know many cases, many contexts where electricity is not an option, where internet is not an option, where computer skills are not present. This doesn't mean it will stay that way - change is happening rapidly of course and there is heaps of innovation as Chris' blog on mobile phones shows. But do let's be aware of who is being unconsciously excluded when we recommend - in the name of development and social justice - all these internet-based tools and possibilities.
