The Community Builder, is narrowing the digital divide

NAMPA, Idaho - Feb. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Technology has changed the way we do business, pursue education, find jobs, and interact with everyone from our family to our doctor to members of Congress. Yet nearly one in five Americans do not use the Internet at all.

Disproportionately from low-income and minority communities, these populations risk becoming increasingly isolated from our digital society because they lack access to the Internet and the skills necessary to use it effectively.

The Community Builder aim is to leverage the democratizing power of the Internet to provide opportunity to all Americans—regardless of age, race, geography, income, or education level.

Why don’t people use the Internet? The top reasons are:
RELEVANCY  ~  DIGITAL LITERACY ~  COST

We believe in a holistic solution that addresses all of these causes of the digital divide. But we recognize that cost is the driving factor in why people aren’t online, and that’s what we focus on. We know that if we make the Internet affordable, they will get online.

Through partnerships with leading Internet service providers and device refurbishers, we are able to offer free or $9.95 per month home Internet service.  Individuals and their families can also purchase discounted devices, including tablets and laptops.

People from all walks of life will be able to achieve their goals in finding,
sharing and using information to solve problems, developing the ability to
access, analyze, evaluate, communicate and share ideas and information.

Get Connected, spread the word and eliminate the digital divide.
