ca: The Digital Divide: Is There A Solution?
Projects like CLIC (Computers for Low Income Calgarians) operated by the Calgary Drop-In Centre have helped to bridge the gap by giving people free computers. This was a good start, but there were still some important building blocks missing. The computers available through the CLIC program are generally not of the latest generation. Many are in the 750mz range, whereas most new systems are in the 3000-4000mz range, making them considerably faster and more capable of running programs.
