Technology is the principle of human development. It can help accomplish a variety of tasks, from typing your resume for your next job application, to being able to access clean water and staying in good health. However, there is a rift separating those who have easy access to technology, for instance, someone like you who is watching this video right now, and those who don’t, like the person you see typing HIS resume in the public library because he doesn’t have a computer at home. According to a report from a United Nations agency, over 50% of the world’s population still do not have access to modern information and communications technology, which includes telephones, televisions, personal computers, and the internet. YOU can help these people by donating your old, no-longer used but usable electronics to organizations like Reboot Canada or the Electronic Recycling Association. These non-profit associations provide the less fortunate with usable technology, making their lives easier, as even basic activities now require the use of a computer; applying for a job, completing school work, staying in touch with family or even something as simple as looking up a bus route. The future is in your hands. Will you put it to good use?
This persuasive video is targeted towards millennials and teens today who have already began cycling through some generations of devices such as computers and phones, and may have old and no-longer-used (but still usable) devices lying around at home in their closets that will most likely end up in the dumps, given a couple more years. This subject is important because there are many people in the world that are not as fortunate as them and do not have easy access to technology such as computers or phones, despite them being a necessity in today’s world, especially for students, whether it is for applying for a job, completing school work, or even looking up a bus route. Their call to action is to donate their old and no-longer-used technology to local charities who can provide the less fortunate with usable technology, making their lives easier.
