It is less likely that your Mom will try new software if a price tag stands between her and the experience... is she likely to grow? is she ever going to try anything completely new? Who knows Mom might even find a breakthrough in muffin technology?
The point is that the world has somewhere approaching five billion brains. (how much would proprietary software cost for 5 billion people?) I think those brains could help solve most of the worlds problems if only they were connected, if only they had access to advanced tools (technology). The next generation of scientists, biologists, architects, etc... will need serious software. I am certain that technology and communication is likely the only thing that can save us now...
Free and Open Source Software to the rescue! (I mostly want better muffins)
