- jghn 5y agoA friend of mine in the mid-90s was experiencing homelessness and had a "virtual home" via website, including some VRML code. Considering in that era few people were "on the internet", it's not a far leap to find someone experiencing homelessness in the modern era who own a cell phone
- Aerroon 5y ago>Utilizing data from a study of 421 homeless adults moving into PSH, this paper presents descriptive technology findings, and compares results to age-matched general population data. The vast majority (94%) currently owned a cell phone. /.../ Most (85%) used a cell phone daily, 76% used text messaging, and 51% accessed the Internet on their cell phone. One-third reported no past 3-month Internet use. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315541163_No_Digital_Divide_Technology_Use_among_Homeless_Adults https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315541163_No_Digita...
