The Digital Divide: Millions of Computers are Going to Waste
Nearly 50 million people across America — including students, the poor, and seniors — do not have Internet access, in large measure because they simply do not own a computer. At the same time, we landfill millions of legacy computers each year, computers which in many cases either work or can be made to work. There ought to be a way to connect those with too many computers to those who have none. And now there is.
Step 1: How To Start
It has been said that it is better to give than to receive, and for those with legacy computers that is surely the case. You are able to help others with your donation, a benefit that may well lead to better grades, more income, and greater socialization for the recipient. Each donated computer means one less toxic item in our landfills. And, not to be overlooked, it may be possible to earn a tax deduction.
