Why we need the best tools on Chromebooks and Raspberry Pi
This post gets it close, but what we need is the best tools that can run in a web browser on a public library computer. Many don&#x27;t even have a Chromebook or RPi.<p>And really what we need are the best tools that can run on the lowest end mobile phone. That way a lot more people could code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cta.tech&#x2F;News&#x2F;Blog&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;2015&#x2F;July&#x2F;How-Mobile-Phones-Are-Changing-the-Developing-Worl.aspx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cta.tech&#x2F;News&#x2F;Blog&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;2015&#x2F;July&#x2F;How-Mobile...</a> You could just give away free android phones- that&#x27;d be easier than trying to get everyone&#x27;s clamshell phone to allow coding, and typing on a numeric keypad would be difficult. Also, even using Android- how will those people type? Hmm, maybe we just need to give them all computers or Facebook could set up computing centers. Actually, those luckily enough to get a ride into town and some money might afford 15 minutes in an internet cafe, so maybe if you wrote an app that could multifunction as a coding tutorial and universal web email client application at the same time <i>maybe</i> someone might use it. But definitely a low-end computer, so we&#x27;re back again to serving some additional people realistically if we just have a webbased IDE that runs on a low-end computer. Should it support IE6 or IE7? Also, internet in many places is dog slow.<p>Still beyond that what is desperately needed is food, clean water, shelter, clothes, blankets, feminine hygiene products, medical assistance, infrastructure, the ability to grow food, doctors that live nearby with a constant supply of resources, and electricity. There are many parts of the world that don&#x27;t have these things. Don&#x27;t give them computers first. It would be intercepted before it gets to them or taken away from them or sold for necessary items. Many can&#x27;t code, as they&#x27;re struggling to survive.
