USB Drive

Working in Lansing Schools made me realize just how many students do not have access to a computer at home. Growing up with several computers in my home, I had foolishly assumed most people had that same access. Thinking about ways in which to level the playing field for those that do nt have computers at home, I remembered that most libraries give the public free access to the internet for research purposes. These students may use them, however they cannot save their work on a public computer. If these students were simply given USB drives they may use any computer and still be able to save their work and turn it in. Such a simple piece of technology gives these children the same opportunities ass those with computers at home. Now even cameras are built with USB's within them for easy file sharing. It really is a fast and easy way of transfering files. With their cost lost, and their value high, it seems that more students could be investing in these things.
