TROY, Nov. 30, 2023 – Disability Network Eastern Michigan will distribute 50 free laptops this holiday season to pre-selected individuals with disabilities who have digital divide barriers, thanks to AT&T and Human I-T. The distribution, part of AT&T’s nationwide commitment to help bridge the digital divide, will take place on Monday, December 4 at 10:30 a.m. at Disability Network Eastern Michigan’s offices in Troy.
The laptops, funded by an AT&T contribution to Human I-T, will be given to preselected individuals with disabilities served by Disability Network Eastern Michigan to help them fully participate in our digital world. Many don’t have digital basics at home, including a computer, needed to benefit from the online world – an issue known as the digital divide.
These efforts are part of the AT&T Connected Learning
initiative to help address the digital divide through internet accessibility,
affordability and safe adoption.
