Why is it that I am reading of the digital divide being closed aggressively every ware but in Cleveland?! I thought maybe it was not that big of deal here in greater Cleveland... I mean everyone has a computer right? WRONG!!! It is pathetic that so many people are without a basic computer and Internet connection. What will it take to make this problem go away? I for one am willing to put forth an effort to help solve this problem.
A while ago there was a call for computers and a few organizations stepped forward. The problem now is getting people to lend a hand. So I am asking for people with computer skills to help out. We have the opportunity to recycle over 5000 computers. Yes that is right 5K, not a typo like I so often make.
I want to see what is happening in other areas of the world happen right here in Cleveland. For example the French are making us look like complete fools with their efforts. Click here for more info [1]. If we are to address this problem seriously we need to take action now, not tomorrow, but now.
If you want to be involved in someway, please contact me ASAP at phillip [at] realinks [dot] us.
