Short Stories

For another way to learn about, and explain, digital inclusion concepts, Katherine has written a number of short stories addressing the digital divide.

  1. Teachable Moment – demonstrating that not everything can be done on a phone, sometimes a laptop is needed.
  2. Packages  – a story about a young man on the wrong side of the digital divide facing the temptation of easy money.
  3. Computer Opportunities –  shows how not being comfortable around computers decreases one’s opportunities since even filling out a job application requires using a computer these days.
  4. An Easy Example –  lack of computer access can affect a young girl’s math education.
  5. Booming Connections – story showing the value of technology for seniors that mentions one of our partners, techboomers.com.
