Brian,

For a more "up to date" source, worldvillage.org

There is no longer any sort of scholarly atrribution to even suggest that the numbers are meaningful.

Note that the "village" is now presumed to be made up of 1000 people, and they are still presumed to have only 1 computer. The sources of information are vague...

Another tidbit:

Under "life in Town":

335 of the adults are illiterate.

But under "Education/Computers":

200 people can not read.

Hard to take something seriously when the data is inconsistent, or contradicts prior lists. (Computer ownership dropped from 1% to 1/10% ????
