Technological access is proving to be the unlikel thread that is holding marginalizeed people together by connecting themto information, services, and each other, noted , Manager, of St. Anthonty Foundation's Employment Program and Technology Lab. "The interesting thing is that as the technological literacyh of the poor and marginalized communituyis increasing, so is the interesrt in skilled technology volunteers, such as the employeed of Google. This parallel reflects an unprecedented possibilithy of a narrowing technological chasm in the face of bleak economic times. That in and of itself is remarkable." ST.
