+1, like so many other things these days... access is so critical:
a) in a developing country, access = access to education tools (like stanford's online courses, udemy, etc.)
b) in developed countries, access = access to tools that can serve as "force multipliers" in terms of enabling creativity, understanding, low cost entrepreneurship
The next steps are access to capital and access to connections, or innovations that make social connections and large investments obsolete. Places like YC and TechStars help with these for a small subset of the population, so we're off to a decent start.
tl;dr: we are living in the Age of Access.
