    It would be unreasonable to exclude some people from access to information either due to their inability to afford internet access and/or a computer, or their lack of computer skills. This form of communication may negatively impact the poor, the disadvantaged, and the elderly. 

    A computer recycling scheme might be an idea – let people who are upgrading their PCs pass them on to residents who can’t afford one of their own (maybe as a loan from the Owners Corp).

    Also there are various community college courses in basic computing for seniors like this one and this one and others.

    Getting computer basics can make a big difference to seniors especially as they can keep in touch with friends and family … and the rest fo the world through emails, Skype and social media.

    So I would use the push for an internal communications system as a way of getting people online rather that worrying that you are excluding those who aren’t.
