Mark Zuckerberg's plan to get every human on earth online?

Tell me what's wrong with this plan?

The first thing that is wrong with this plan is that many people not only cannot read English they can't read ANY Language at all. This is the first problem with this idea that comes to mind.

If you look at the December 15, 2014 issue of Time magazine you will see his picture on the cover. This is Zuckerberg's plan.

Later: I had 24 hours to think more about what he was talking about. Because of the ongoing sophistication of all computers, Ipad like versions, smartphones etc. We are quickly coming "Through SIRI and SIRI Clones" to the point where reading won't be necessary at all to use devices. One person who can read can call up SIRI or a similar device and verbally access any device carrying such a program without being able to read at all.

One need only to be taught how to call up SIRI (or a SIRI clone) to find out anything that they want to know that is available in their speaking language worldwide.

This is a sort of awesome thought where people who can't read can also access devices all over the world.

However, it is a dangerous thought too in that it might encourage people not to learn to read or write which could be a tipping point for the "Dumbing down" of humanity as a better way to enslave them and prevent them from learning "Critical Thinking" which allows a person not to become a slave to others.
