This group's purpose is to gather those of us who want to help close the digital divide and make Wilmington become a more technologically advanced community. In Wilmington, there are many people who do not have personal computers or the skills necessary to use computers effectively. Also, we do not have much choice when it comes to internet providers and the wi-fi available is not all it could be. One project I hope to begin with this group involves refurbishing computers, installing a very simple OS (I like Jolicloud personally), having a 4-6 session class where students can learn to use the computers and then take the computers home. Another opportunity for volunteering is teaching computer skills to seniors. I've taught a couple of 6 week classes and it is really fun and rewarding. Those are my specialty areas, but this group is for all things involving computers and the internet. It would be great for people who have diverse ideas and goals to join this group and together we can help Wilmington become more technologically advanced.
