Give your idea a short title:

  • +{"en"=>"Connection for Seniors"}

Body

  • +["

    What problem would you like to solve?

    High cost of investing in a smartphone, smartspeaker or tablet and monthly wi-fi costs

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

    Lack of digital literacy further isolates our oldest neighbors

    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    A special low discount internet rate for seniors. Tablets distributed to seniors in the same way they were given to schoolchildren during the lockdown in early days of the pandemic.

    Who would that help?

    Millions of older New Yorkers

    What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

    Citywide
