Show Notes
While life seemed simpler back in the day before most everything moved online, you have to be pretty connected nowadays in order to accomplish even the most basic of tasks. There's still a stark digital divide in low-income areas, rural areas, and with seniors and students. The city of Cambridge has a "Digital Navigator" program that's working with residents, one by one, to connect them with knowledge, experience, and the devices they need to get by. Samara Murrell, the Coordinator of Cambridge Community Television's efforts in the Digital Navigator program, joins Nichole to talk about it.
