Provision does not automatically transform to success

Many people nowadays have the idea that once technology is provided, strange miraculous results will automatically follow without doing anything in between the starting point of provision and the end-point of success. The end-point is paradoxically never an end because success is a process just as much that it is perceived as a state. So I find it strange that the free provision of Internet access is listed as an immediate solution to our current global economic woes as if the provision of the technology alone is sufficient. No doubt it will in one way or another provide relief to the economic strain, but much work still needs to be done to transfer the technological investment to economic gains. A focus on efforts to raise literacy level of the public on the positive use of the Internet might quicken the pace towards the intended goal.
