How does it help homeless people to give them better computer literacy?
ReplyDeleteA resume for a homeless person? Really?
Are you telling us that the viewing of porn by people at a library is worse than your friends, family and neighbors using it?
So - Carl. First - thanks for taking a moment to read the blog. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond.
ReplyDeleteHomelessness occurs for a variety of reasons to people at various stages in their lives. Although commonly associated with addictive behavior, that is not always the case. Also, some homeless people are educated - just like you or I. Because I am a technical writing and that's how I make my living, I offered to lend my writing skills to any of the guys that might want to update their resumes. (I invite you to volunteer at your local homeless shelter and befriend some of the people there. In time, you'll hear some of their stories and maybe you'll be moved to help in a way that you can offer as well.)
Also - there is an almost surprising disparity between the resources that a homeless person has compared to you or I. Some do not have basic typing skills, let alone email addresses. Both of which can provide a huge advantage to get even the most basic of jobs.
Lastly, the issue isn't WHO is watching porn, but WHERE it is being watched. If my friends, family and neighbors (that "use it") were to view this in public, like at the public library - I would still be opposed to it.
