That's a singularly uninformed first-world mentality. Just because Internet 
penetration has reached the levels it has in your country, don't assume 
it's the same throughout the world.

I guess you also think things like access to electricity and running water, 
driving around in a car and talking on a telephone  and watching cable tv 
are also not only available to a "chosen few"?

Spend three months working in a country like India and you'll realise you 
*are* in the elite few of the global population. As a matter of fact, if 
you are literate enough to read this message, you are among the elite few.

Similarly spend three months being as oblivious to the Internet as the vast 
majority of the world still is and you'll realise how few people really 
give a flying fart about Javascript or no Javascript. Or ever will.

It's great that you know these things and can evangelise on them, but there 
is such a thing as going too far to try to ram a point down someone's throat.

regards.
