technology puts an individual at a distinct disadvantage," said
Earvin "Magic" Johnson, founder of the Magic Johnson Foundation.
"Many of us use technology daily in our homes, our schools and our
businesses. Yet, for residents in underserved communities, access
to technology is not a given. This partnership with HP enables
residents of the community to have access and training
opportunities that are not otherwise available."
