Hard Drives For Humanity
from the need-that-computer dept
Habitat for Humanity is working on a new program to provide computers in the new homes they build. While the homes don't have "luxuries" like dishwashers and garbage disposals, a computer is considered a necessity these days. Everyone getting one of the computers is also required to take a training course. The computers are donated by local companies, and free internet access is provided by AOL.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
