The human side of the digital divide

What will change in the world because this Project happens?

With this mashup, we will close the digital divide. However, though this is a lofty and important goal, this project takes the important step of connecting the digital divide to the larger issue of poverty. It's easy to talk about Internet access; politicians of all stripes agree that people should have access to the Internet, even if they disagree on what to do about it. In cities all across the country and at all levels of government, people or committees are discussing how to expand access to the Internet. This tool leverages the widespread comfort with that one issue to open much more challenging discussions about poverty, racism, community health, and financial justice.
