(not entirely deep but whatever, move if necessary) I'm not sure whether or not we could consider it a right currently but I think definitely in the future it ought to be, especially if we ever get rid of paper based mail. Everyone is going to need some sort of device and internet access, in the first world at least. But what about now?

A lot of businesses and opportunities have moved online, and a lot of essential stuff uses email, so if society is to shift to using them as their main forms of communication and make them vital, then everyone has a right to access them.

Shame my country consider it as a luxury and not as something that advances the country.

Favourite Manga dat boi	You could argue it either way. It's a luxury in that it's not necessary for survival, yet it's quickly becoming a right akin to education and general access to information. A person who had grown up and lived without any access to internet would be at a disadvantage to someone who'd had access to internet his or her entire life in this day and age. It's becoming increasingly necessary if you ever hope to attain and hold a job, as well. You need the internet to apply for most jobs, you need the internet to work, etc.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	I agree with you. It's not currently (although it's close to it), but we're definitely moving into a world where it should be considered a right. Like others have said, there are a lot of essential areas that have moved online and that's only going to increase as time goes on.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Berserk all day erry day	I wonder if there will ever be a "free internet" service introduced and cheap PDA's and stuff like that virtually everyone can have so that each and every person has some, if limited capacity to access the internet? Similar to how absolutely everyone has access to the physical mail system. Sooner or later that might not be so viable. In the long run everything like that going digital would probably be way more economical, obviously it takes no fuel to deliver an email(although shame for postal workers who only deliver letters) But then I suppose there's always going to be the element of security, if everyone is connected in some capacity then there's going to be more hacking going on, especially if virtually everyone has a cheap e-reader for sensitive emails. All in all despite potential negatives I think it'd make everything a lot more productive, so many people miss appointments due to late letters they don't have time to or perhaps don't even know how to reply to or maybe they just can't answer the phone, big issue for me personally. It'd be so much handier if delivery services could just message me when they intend to drop something off. Some do but it's not entirely common. I suppose the mobile networks have taken a big hit since instant messaging came out and becomes easier every year, another good reason to push internet access for everyone out there.
