Video - Reuse, Reboot, Revitalize

April 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The following video was originally produced for MTV’s Choose or Lose Street Team ‘08, where I contribute as an independent journalist. Go here for more information.

I recently caught up with a couple of young Nashvillians who are combining their skills in business, education, and technology with a passion for social change. Their company, Alphabyte Technologies, is taking old, discarded computers, installing free, open-source software, and creating high-functioning computer labs for little to no investment. They hope their model will catch the attention of politicians and other decision makers within America’s education system.

    Dustin,

    What a fantastic idea. Seriously, what is one going to do with an old computer! I wonder if my parents still have my old computer laying around somewhere, because I have no use for it.

    Also, congrats on your recent success and Puffin Foundation Grant! Looking forward to what you accomplish in the near future.
