The Need to Expand Technology in Poverty Stricken Communities.
African Americans have long been less likely than whites to use the internet and to have high speed broadband access at home, and that continues to be the case.
Today, African Americans trail whites by seven percentage points when it comes to overall internet use (87% of whites and 80% of blacks are internet users), and by twelve percentage points when it comes to home broadband adoption (74% of whites and 62% of blacks have some sort of broadband connection at home).
A goal of the Technology Outreach Center is to provide prosperity with the help of affordable computing and constant mobile platforms. In the very near future the center intends on purchasing local property to house a modern diversified technological center.
Potential site locations in Douglas Park, Okeechobee for the technology center building.

Douglas Park has been left behind, there are not enough resources for advancement for lower income people. We’ve been measuring internet use and broadband adoption since early 2000, and the general story with respect to race and ethnicity is one of narrowing gaps combined with continuing disparities.
