Task - What is the impact of internet access for th homless? XP

  • Write down five ways in which access to the internet could change the life of a homeless person for the better.
  • They would be able to find a job easier and quicker.
  • They would be able to set up a small business or something to gain some money
  • Things such as as google ads would be used to gain them some money. For example, setting up a blog and putting adverts on it to gain some money from people clicking them.
  • They would be able to communicate with "handlers" easier to gain information about different jobs.
  • They would be in contact with more people allowing them to get a greater perspective of what is happening in the world.

  • Write down the impact that not having access to the internet has on that person.

They do not have a massive impact since more than likely they never had it before, or they have better things to do with thier lives, such as get them back on track so they can use the internet again sometime.

  • Write down five things that are more important to that person than the internet. (Oh come on...)
  1. Food
  2. Water
  3. Living
  4. Shelter
  5. Not being eaten by that angry looking dog
  6. Getting money to buy things
