It sucks that the world we live in is the way it is because in theory this would be an ideal model for so many people. Older adults I know really just need a Facebook terminal but are required to buy a whole computer. If anything at all goes wrong with it they freak out and buy a brand new one. So much tech waste and so much hardware not being used for the majority of the time. If they had lightweight terminals there’d be less issues on their end but even if they replaced it at the first issue, it wouldn’t be an entire computer getting trashed. Since all they use is the occasional facebook the mandatory internet thing wouldn’t even be an issue. Plenty of younger people might also be good candidates for this since they basically exclusively use online features too.

Obviously I would never trust this kind of service for a variety of reasons, but in theory the world could really benefit from that model.
