I just thought of an idea, thanks to my grandma being in the hospital, and VERY ill. My idea is to get laptops into hospitals that have internet. They would be strictly for Skyping long distance family members. I think that seeing you loved ones face when they are EXTREMELY ill would be a nice touch. I’m gonna look into funding for this project. (Maybe Pepsi Refresh? Maybe the Hospitals?) But, there is a catch that the hospitals MUST have decent internet to stream video and they must have a WAP (Wireless Access Point). I would be incharge of managing the laptop(s), which would significantly reduce the cost. I’m also considering partnering with a local store (or our school) to obtain a few laptops to pilot my idea. I think this would be a VERY nice idea, like we could use it to skype with my grandma, who is VERY ill, instead of wasting precious minutes driving (Driving up to see her takes 3 hours. Who KNOWS what could happen in that time frame… 3 hours could mean the difference between life and death.
Thats it for now. It would be EXTREMELY nice if you could keep my Grandma and our family in your thoughts and prayers! -d (More later)
