I can't speak for your area of the world, but every even vaguely metro or suburban area of Australia has public libraries with quiet spaces to work/study, free internet and free computers to use if you don't BYO. Most run digital literacy classes, and a number are even starting to do little cost-price cafe setups.

Whilst being wealthy is an advantage, it's certainly not the gap it once was.
