Your title is wrong. Bolivians have been using windows, and computers since their invention. The people who populate the big cities speak spanish, which is the official language, and have had computers, Windows, and any other comodity you can think of. But there is a lot of social stratification in Bolivia. The majority of the bolivian population is of indigenous origin, these people live in the country side and are poor and not really educated. These are the people who speak the "Ican dialec," quechua, but since these people are poor, and most of the time, do not even attend a real school, I do not see what the point of having windows in their language is, since they could never afford a computer. A smarted move would be to teach them spanish, so they can be integrated into the bolivian school system, which is ran in spanish. Perhaps then,they could improve their social status.
