Illiterate become literate by the computer.

The right word on top should be simputer. Simputer is the answer to bridge the digital divide. It is a portable, low cost device and much smaller than a computer. It was developed by a company in Bangalore, the Indian IT capital. India has more than a billion plus population. In several rural areas of India with a low literacy rate and other developing countries, the simputer will bring revolutionary changes . The simputer has a touch screen where one can select characters. The user interface is based on sight, touch and audio. Here's a link to more info:simputer.org
