Article-Summary: 

At 50, Nyende Namisi, a peasant farmer in rural western Kenya, has never seen a computer before. Efforts by an empowerment lobby group to introduce her to one have hit a snag. She maintains that she is well past using such a device and prefers her children to be taught instead. Millions of women in rural sub-Saharan Africa have no access to Information Communication Technology (ICTs), particularly computer technologies like internet and e-mail.
