I was in today creating a blog post and thought i would give ChatGPT a try to create my blog post for me....  If you haven't checked out ChatGPT yet..  Now is the time.  This will be a game changer in many areas:  https://chatgptonline.net/ 

This is what I entered: 
Write a blog on computer donations and their impact on people without technology


This is what ChatGPT gave me: 

In today's digital age, access to technology is essential for individuals to participate in society, get an education, and find employment. However, for many people around the world, owning a computer remains an unattainable dream. This is where computer donations come in, providing a lifeline to those without access to technology.

Computer donations can come from various sources, such as businesses, government programs, and individual donors. They offer a low-cost way for people without technology to access the tools they need to succeed in the modern world. By receiving a computer, individuals can gain access to the internet, educational resources, and job opportunities.

One of the most significant impacts of computer donations is improved education. With a computer, students can access online educational resources, such as online courses and virtual classrooms. They can also complete assignments and communicate with their teachers and classmates. Furthermore, students in underserved communities who receive computer donations have been shown to perform better academically, close the achievement gap, and increase their chances of success.

Computer donations also have a profound impact on job seekers, particularly those from low-income communities. With a computer, individuals can search for job opportunities, create and send out resumes, and participate in virtual job fairs. This gives them a level playing field with their peers, who may have access to technology, and increases their chances of finding a job.

Moreover, computer donations can also help bridge the digital divide, providing access to technology to those who otherwise would not have it. This helps close the gap between those who have access to technology and those who don't, making it possible for everyone to participate in the digital world.

In conclusion, computer donations play a crucial role in empowering individuals without technology to access the tools they need to succeed in the modern world. They provide improved education, job opportunities, and help bridge the digital divide. By providing access to technology, computer donations have a positive impact on the lives of people in need and help to create a more equitable society. If you have an old computer lying around, consider donating it to a local organization or school to make a difference in someone's life.

This is a great example of how computer donations can be reused to fill a need away from their initial purpose.   These "Thin Client" workstations were donated by the Huebner Family McDonald's.  These machines were used to run the displays showing food orders, queues, and times.

These workstations have been upgraded to the highest amount of memory and running SSD hard drives they can now be used as computer lab devices.  

HUGE THANK YOU to the following: 
  • Huebner Family McDonald's
  • Mike Skog
  • Max Warren
  • Ross Warren
  • Develop Africa

If the company you work for is looking to donate old hardware to the Computer Equipment For Kids Program please reach out:   [email protected]
