Hi Steve, I think in some respects your observation helps answer the question on support and training. What happens in practice with communal ICT implementations is that community develops its own support networks - just as you help people known to you; others in community self-develop skills and use these skills to help family and friends. Depending on the scope and scale of implementations this can even become quite an organised initiative. This is certainly what we see in the Telecentre movement - A few "bright sparks" adopt the technology very easily and quickly become peers and helpers assisting others with adoption/support issues. We don't need all kids to be intuitive adopters, just enough to self-develop a useful support network.
