I know someone who skips meals to make rent. She's about to start a second job, since her first can only give her 40 hours per week. A one-time $300-$400 could be life-changing for her.
Your larger point is still interesting, but it is still true that the wealth gap prevents people from buying computers.

Not until parents donated a few more were we able to build up a classroom with 5 machines. US is so infinitely better off than most other places, it really bothers me how little we appreciate it. This same misery no longer is true in most of Eastern Europe, but still plays out daily in many other countries. People there make it work, but knowledge does empower and many lack that knowledge.
