Providing refurbished computers to poor families

In terms of computers and all electronic products, schools have increased dramatically, and by 2018, educational technology spending is estimated to reach $60 billion. This commitment is expected to continue to change classroom teaching - and in turn is homework. . Many homework jobs are already needed; the problem is that not everyone has one, and this raises what people call the "digital divide."

Just look at the 2013 Census Bureau's US Computer and Internet Use American Community Survey Report to tell the story:

Percentage of computer-led households:

• White only, non-Hispanic: 85.4%
• Black alone, non-Hispanic: 75.8%
• Asian only, non-Hispanic: 92.5%
• Hispanic [any race]: 79.7%

In those with inserts:

• Less than $25,000: 62.4%
• $25,000 to $49.999: 81.1%
• $50,000 to $99,999: 92.6%

The educational level of the household:

• Not high school graduates: 47.2%
• High school graduates [including equivalent qualifications]: 66.9%
• Some university or associate degree: 83.9%
• Bachelor's degree or above: 93.5%

As mentioned above, race is part of the "digital divide" equation, but when education and income are taken into account, the gap will widen further. Moreover, the poor as the core of the organization, such as TeamChildren in the Philadelphia area. Its mission is to ensure that children in need throughout the country and around the world have their own computers. The clothing also provides learning software to help promote education.

They are not the only ones who provide refurbished computers to families in need. For example, ProjectReboot works in Rockville, Maryland, serving the Metropolitan Washington, DC.

The other is the 12-year-old PCRR and its school computer in Chicago. Fortunately, countless other organizations are working hard to ensure that all children have the technical equipment to keep up with their studies and continue to learn. The school day is over.

Many of them also hired teenagers and college students to teach them how to update their computers because they work together and provide polite customer service to all customers. In addition, as in the case of TeamChildren, these children are trained to use organizational learning software so they can share this knowledge with their parents. This is a win-win approach as parents go beyond and help ensure the knowledge base of their children.

Thank goodness.

According to the US Census Bureau, 13.5% of us lived below the poverty line last year. The Ministry of Health and Human Services said that for a family of four, the annual income is only $24,300. If there are only two homes, it is $16,020, and for a family of five, it is only $28,440.

In a word: Thanks to these organizations and similar organizations, countless families now own computers, while narrowing a child's digital divide and improving performance.
