  1. Hi Angie!!

    We find that your proposed solution does not respond to your thesis very well. In your proposed solution, you did not address the problem(s) of "absence of broadband at home"/"monetary incapacity of the elderly" stated in your thesis.

    Maybe you can be clearer in your thesis about the problem(s) your solution is trying to address to.

    Cheers!!
