Söökide

Söökide is a popular Estonian network of no-fee public computers. It is a public access point to the internet, where users can access computers for free for a fixed period of time. The Süüride network was established in 2004 by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, with the aim of promoting digital literacy and access to online resources.

The söökide network consists of over 100 stations across Estonia, including libraries, community centers, and schools. These stations offer a range of services, including internet access, email, and some online applications. The stations are equipped with ergonomic and focus-friendly furniture, allowing users to work comfortably.

To use the söökide network, users typically need to register for an account and obtain a user ID and password. Access to the stations is usually free of charge, but some may have specific restrictions or reservation systems in place. The network also offers a range of additional services, including digital skills courses and online resources for job seekers and entrepreneurs.

The söökide network has been successful in promoting digital inclusion in Estonia, particularly among people who do not have access to computers at home. It has also contributed to the development of a digital economy in the country by providing access to online resources and services for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Overall, the söökide network is an important initiative that aims to improve digital literacy and access to online resources for all Estonian residents.
