Saw this on CBS This Morning today. This is a great example to counter the many naysayers who think that there is a certain percentage of our population who will never get or learn technology, and therefore we need to take drastic steps to help these people. Given the right learning environment, I strongly believe you can teach anyone virtually any skill. There is going to be variance in how quickly people can adopt those skills and how well they can be applied, but at the end of the day having those skills is better than not having them.
As someone who's met Chris and knows a mentor for The Last Mile, I can't say enough good things about this. In my opinion, we desperately need more of these kinds of out-of-the-box solutions to social problems. This is what progress looks like.
Watch the video, you won't regret it. Really inspiring.
