The document discusses the Smart Cape public access project in Cape Town, South Africa that aims to bridge the digital divide. It provides free access to computers and the internet in public libraries. While physical access is provided, ongoing issues around affordability, capacity, relevant content and socio-cultural inequalities threaten sustainability. User testimonials nevertheless emphasize the transformative impact of access and how it has empowered dreams and opportunities.
