Bingo. Some years back i read about a project where young ladies in rural India was equipped with and trained in the use of a laptop loaded with medial and agricultural documents.

Then they would travel from village to village to help locals with various issues (saving crops from pests, figuring out minor illnesses etc).

Basically they were carrying around the equivalent of a library in a shoulder bag.

More recently an article mentioned a farmer somewhere in Africa that had gone to a netcafe to look up solutions to his failing crops.
