This is way cooler than going to the library!" exclaimed 11-year-old Norsyalinah Suad as her Google search flashed a handsome find on her idol, P.Ramlee. Between downloading the information and copying quirky trivia on the late performer for her scrapbook project, she said:" If this were an assignment in school, it would take me ages to complete. I can't believe the Net can give so much in so little time!" After a minute, she asked: “Do you think they’d allow me to use this when I sit for my tests? It sure would come in handy!”
It may seem odd these days to find an 11-year-old just discovering the Internet. Yet, this is the reality for many rural schoolchildren like Norsyalinah who have very little exposure to computers and the world of information technology.
