“Green” Mobile Technology Center
In this ever growing Technological Age learning how to use the Internet and more importantly being able to access it have never been more crucial. The Internet helps students research papers, people get jobs and so much more. The Internet is becoming an essential part of life.
A recent study conducted by the University of California at Berkeley showed that the residents of the Southeast Los Angeles area are largely disconnected from the Internet due to the lack of broad access to computers, technical assistance and computer literacy education. This alarming reality is referred to as the Digital Divide and impacts not only the region’s but also, the state’s future global competitiveness. The City of Vernon responded to this study in order to break the Digital Divide by working with Universal Specialty Vehicles, Inc. to create a Mobile Technology Center.
