Computers, African People and the Future

Recently, the constant message of Brother Tony Brown concerning computers and African people in America has been confirmed. Blacks are way behind whites in the use of computers. The forecast is that black people will not be prepared.

I have some suggestions:

EVERY BLACK CHURCH IN AMERICA MUST CONCENTRATE ON BUYING FIVE COMPUTERS AND MAKING CLASSES AVAILABLE TO THE CONGREGATION.

Communities must demand that local libraries have many computers available with internet access late at night.

STUDENTS FROM THE LOCAL COLLEGES SHOULD BE RECRUITED TO TEACH THE PEOPLE BASIC USAGE OF COMPUTERS.

EMPHASIS MUST BE PLACED ON OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF COMPUTERS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LEADERSHIP.

PREACHERS SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE CONGREGATION TO BECOME COMPUTER LITERATE.

MINISTERS MUST COMPUTERIZE THEIR MEMBERSHIP ROLE MANAGEMENT. MAYBE THEY COULD EARN MONEY FOR THE CHURCH BY SELLING THEIR MEMBERSHIP LISTS TO SELECTIVE MARKETING COMPANIES.

OUR GROUP WILL ASSIST ANY BLACK CHURCH IN NEED WITH A SIMPLE DATABASE TO MANAGE THEIR MEMBERSHIP. (JUST SEND AN E-MAIL TO brotherhood221@geocities.com).

WE ALSO SUGGEST THAT SATURDAY ACADEMIES INCORPORATE COMPUTER TRAINING INTO THE CURRICULUM. CHURCHES SHOULD SUPPORT THIS EFFORT

Learning to use computers is a matter of survival. It is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. Life today revolves around computer usage like learning to drive a car is needed to get around: Of course you can walk but everyone will pass you by!!

Personally, I started my children on computers when they were two and three years old. It paid handsomely.
