Why should illiteracy persist in the Internet era? It is easy to buy a decent basic computer for a $100. So there should be an obvious public literacy education-entertainment websites for adults and a branch for children.
Many literacy training websites exist... such as http://www.uniteforliteracy.com/. However the focus tends to be for children rather than adults across the training sites.
It should be easy to have a public education core curriculum for Americans of all ages that any inner-city or poor rural resident could get to augment his or her inadequate free public 1-12 education. Maybe a literacy guiding equivelent of the closed caption for the hearing impared should be created to transform any movie or televised video into a spell-by-the-numbers experience.
Quality education and life-long learning at no or low cost should be part of the core security requirement of a positive society. Guaranteed minimum income, basic inalienable life-time storage units, solid retirement security...all of those enable citizens to be free of the leverage of corruption and desperation. How many aspiring writers and inventors today lack their own electrical outlet and security to plug in annually?
