In Telecommunications and the City, they discuss the myth of universal telephone service.

I believe that this is a position now taken over by computers and the Internet. The internet has infiltrated our lives and society, but we must maintain the fact that computers and the Internet are not universal, instead they are still a unit of priviledge.
