There are huge numbers of people who want to

do email
browse the Internet
do simple word processing

and do not want to know about constant updates, viruses, or any 
technicalities whatsoever.

Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, and Linux do this pretty well, but we 
need to get the message across.
That means courses at the elementary level as well as suppliers who will 
deliver such systems.
Teachers at adult education establishments need to realise this need, 
and not limit themselves to what the job market
may expect.
