Engineering360: "Study: Access to the internet is a basic human right"

"People who don’t have access to internet lack meaningful ways to influence the lawmakers and politicians who are shaping their lives and have less access to information."

I take exception to this statement. A hand-written letter to your representative gets a lot more attention than the tsunami of 'spam' that pours into an elected official's email account every day.

It's hard to find a more immature line of reasoning for "human rights."

How can someone have "human-right" access to the Internet without a smart phone?
How can someone have "human-right" access to a smart phone without someone paying their monthly bill?

This nonsense has no end in sight...

An introspective burst of naval gazing by a philosopher seeking backing to find the fluff. Having lived before the internet was even given life I had the human rights I fought for. AS with all forms of computing garbage in garbage out.
