Integrating New Computer Technology Into Community

In our modern society, technology is becoming more and more integrated into our every day lives. Why would it not be possible to use it to progress the development of our real life community? It is not an unfeasible goal. In fact it can be done and more so, it should be done. Technology breaks the time and distance barrier between people as well as it provides people with vast amounts of information just waiting do be explored and retained. In order to open up this portal of opportunity to people, I propose that The Atlanta community would majorly benefit from easier accessibility to the Internet. In other words, I believe getting wireless internet for Atlanta would help build and connect people.

Now that newspapers are becoming more and more obsolete because of the progression of technology, without the Internet, there are no efficient ways of getting information out to the whole community. Yet, if more people were given the chance to have access to the internet, there is more of a probability that they will be up to date with what is occurring around the city. They will be able to be connected to other citizens and thus be able to form organizations. With the formation of organizations, these groups could do more for the community like clean up garbage, volunteer at a food shelter, and helping out in a hospital. The Internet gives people the knowledge about the various opportunities there are around the city to improve the lives of others as well as their own.

Unfortunately, providing Internet service for the whole Atlanta area could be an expensive feat. I would propose that it would be funded by tax payers. Yet if more volunteers were gathered through the providing of free internet service, philanthropic groups would be able to help more people, which would be a good way to spend tax money. The money going into the service would be able to benefit most, if not all, the citizens of Atlanta. Thus it would serve its purpose to help bring together and unite the people of Atlanta.
