Laptops Give Homes to Homeless
| Message Board > Found on the web > Laptops Give Homes to Homeless |
| _Griphin_ User Info... | http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71153-0.html?tw=rss.index Wired is reporting that many individuals currently without permanent housing still manage to stay connected via a cellphone, laptop, or some other gadget. Many homeless have email addresses and find that it offers them a way to get their foot back in the door of 'normal' society. From the article: "Hellerich slept on benches but she frequented a women's shelter with a cluster of internet-connected computers used mostly by the children who arrived at the safe house with their mothers. She started blogging and conducting a business. As an independent internet marketer, she was able to maintain bank accounts, nurse existing client connections and forge new business relationships. The business brought in only about $100 a month, but that was enough to help get her life back on track." That's cool! - Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:34am | ||
