You&#x27;re not getting my point.<p>YES, ABSOLUTELY, sometimes it boils down to knowledge.  But MOST OF THE TIME, it DOESN&#x27;T.<p>I&#x27;m not moving the goal posts.  I said poor, and then you wanted to talk about people who aren&#x27;t poor, but think they are, and if you educate them, it turns out they&#x27;re not poor.<p>&gt; They&#x27;re much better now<p>Dude, not cool.  Do you have a paper towel I can use to clean the milk off my screen?  You just made me spit all over.<p>And now you&#x27;re moving the discussion between having KNOWLEDGE, and having TECHNOLOGY.  Those are, in fact, different things.<p>And let&#x27;s just BACK UP.<p>Let&#x27;s pick that kid with a Nintendo.  Which was, of course, more than 20 years ago.  Is he really THAT much better off with an XBox One today?<p>And please remember, the target we&#x27;re discussing is &quot;poor today versus RICH 20 years ago.&quot;  RICH.  As in, if you want it, you buy it.  If you need information, you hire people who research it for you.  If you are ill, you go to the best doctors in the world.  RICH.  In 1995.  Rich in 1995 ain&#x27;t too shabby.  In fact, I&#x27;d say it&#x27;s much better than poor in 2015.
