Our Story, Our Purpose
Tech Goes Home is focused on tackling the entrenched barriers to technology adoption and Internet access in Boston and across the US. While one could easily assume that mobile and home-based computer access to the Internet has become universal, the stubborn fact remains that an estimated 47 million Americans have no access to a computer and Internet at home. Only 53% of families with a household income under $30,000 have a computer and home Internet. One year after completing TGH, more than 83% of our graduates have home Internet.
