Students
Children
who come from homes without a computer are at a disadvantage in several
ways. First, they lack the basic computer skills that other students have
acquired at home. This makes them enter their classes at a lower technical
level. At home, they cannot practice their computer skills or complete
assignments such as typing papers, creating presentations and doing Internet
research. By redistributing computers which
would be thrown out anyway, more students will have the basic
tools to keep them active participants in our advancing world.

Adults
Computers are also
distributed to adults who use them to practice job skills, type their
résumés, and use them to access information on the Internet.

Senior Citizens
Many homebound senior
citizens have found a new life through the use of e-mail and the Internet.
Computers help them keep in touch with family, friends, and the world. |
