There is a group that is working to improve the Digital Divide in Washington DC. They list some articles on a wwwgroup that I subscribe to. They have been offering 1000 computers to some of the low income students. I'm not sure what the answer is other than trying to make better use of the used computers in education and business by offering them for little or nothing to those who can't afford one--making sure they work first.
The mall avatar came out looking good! I try not to go shopping if it is possible, but sometimes I take a book and read while my wife goes shopping. Unless it is at Lowes, Home Depot, or Menards, then I will go shopping.
Thanks. I'm not really much of a mall shopper but there was no Marshalls, TJMAX or Overstock option. Therefore, I made due with the mall background.:-)
I am currently a guidance counselor at West High School, Davenport, Iowa.
I enjoy design, drawing, and reading. But my passion is my granddaughter Cadie. I see her as often as I can.
