Addressing the Digital Divide Through Self-Belief
The discussion highlights that the digital divide is not solely a matter of hardware but rather a mindset issue. Many overlooked communities, including African-American and Latino groups, have access to technology but may not believe that such innovations are intended for them. By fostering a sense of self-belief and ownership, these communities can leverage cutting-edge tools for creativity and innovation. The initiative aims to reframe technology access as a 'jet pack' for empowerment, challenging the notion that it is exclusive to the wealthy or privileged.
