There are no utilities in my area, thus I am a web noob with experience working with MS-DOS, dBase, BASIC, FoxPro, Visual Basic, VBA, C, C+, Novell NetWare, RAID storage, etc from my college days in the mid '90's. Then I moved to my present location & didn't touch a computer for years. I had only been on the web sporadically until I discovered the mobile web. My first exposure to the mobile web was AirG chat. From there I learned of a site called mcommunity.biz (now peperonity.com) and a nifty little application called "Opera Mini." Here I am three years later coding sites in xhtml / CSS. I do fit the "low income" model mentioned in the article, yet I happen to have three old PIII machines that I following around with from time to time. I just don't have a phone line to hook into. Living off-grid, electricity is not as bountiful as I would like. I run my house off deep-cycle batteries charged by photovoltaic collectors, augmented by gasoline generator for backup & for high wattage appliances. I tried tethering my PC to my cell phone, but I was disappointed with my actual connection speeds of less than 3kbps! Not worth $70. a month! So I access the internet via my cell phone only. Thus, I feel that my situation is closer to that of people living in developing nations, where cell phones have brought the world wide web to others who, like I, have no other means of getting online. The site listed above was entirely constructed using a cellular phone. I am a 44 year old male, living in a remote part of Hawai’i island.
