I think the US isn't that far off from "pretty good" in these two 
(which is why I didn't put them on my list -- we're not talking about 
Utopia here).  Public schools through high school (yes, they can be 
bad, but the structure is in place) and Community Colleges (also could 
be better; what can't?); and there are things like 'lifeline' telephone 
services.  If you're talking about computers, sure put it on the list:

Since this is my idea (hah) I'll just remind you: it's not a question 
of how to fix everything all at once, it's a question of how to provide 
*something* for *everyone* without tearing down the possibility of 
*someones* getting *everything* :-)
