Should needy families get free computers?

I definitely agree that poor families should get free computers.

Computers have become an essential part of our lives. We use them to communicate with other people on the internet.

Some of us also find it helps us to relieve stress by writing web blogs.

Children find it helpful when they are doing homework and other school projects. They may be asked to do a survey on the internet.

If they come from a low-income family and do not have a computer, it could prove an obstacle to their education. They might feel isolated because their peers have computers and this could lead to them feeling inferior and affect their ability to socialise with fellow students.

Therefore, to ensure their children are able to develop their abilities, low-income families should be given computers.
