Hewlett Packard and the Magic Johnson Foundation
continue their community technology initiative aimed at bridging the
digital divide with the opening of the eleventh Magic Johnson HP
Inventor Center at The Black Child and Family Institute in Lansing.
The center will offer training and skills development and access to
online services for Lansing-area youths and adults.
"So many people take computer technology for
granted because it's such a major part of our society now, but
imagine not having the education or the ability to access
computers," said Earvin "Magic" Johnson, founder of
the Magic Johnson Foundation. "Thanks to organizations with a
strong sense of responsibility like HP, my Foundation can come into
the community and provide the necessary training and education that
the kids and the residents of the community may not be getting
otherwise."
