Should access to computers and the internet be a basic human right?
Considering how much of our existence is online these days, it seems like denying people the means to participate is almost like denying their right to exist. I’d like to see a world where everyone has the capability to shape this digital space in a fair and accessible manner.
No. Access to clean air, drinkable water, healthcare, and a fair living wage are more important and should come first.
Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs
So, if the air is never cleaned to your standard, nobody else can ever have anything else? You didn’t put food in there. Food stamps not on your list? Maslow’s Heirarchy of Sandwiches?
What if you need the internet to order sandwiches? Or potable water? Or to get education? Or pay your bills? Or for easy government communication? What if you need to coordinate people to clean the air? Your phone is the internet for most people. You gonna use your rolodex instead? lol. Your paper address book that you wrote everyone’s name and phone number in? lolo. Maybe the white pages? lolol. Telegram? lololol. Candygram! hahahahah.
Fuck you, we need the fucking interwebz.
