Takeshi, a gifted high school student, wants to become a doctor. Because he comes from a poor family, he will need a scholarship in order to attend university. Some of his classes require extra research projects in order to get A. His high school has a few, older PCs, but there are always lone lines of students waiting to use them during the school day. After school, he usually works at a part-time job to help support his family.
On some evening Takeshi, goes to the library of MFU, where he always finds plenty of unused PCs. Connected to the internet. On a few occasions when a librarian asks him if he is a student at the MFU, he says “yes” and the librarian leaves him alone. Using the resources of this library, Takeshi, efficiently completes the extra research projects, graduates from high school with straight As, and gets a fullride scholarship to attend a university.
