| :. How do you imagine you will use computers 10 years from now? |
Jessica Pio, Age 16, Grade 11

I imagine 10 years from now computers will be voice activated so you won’t have to use a keyboard, you just tell the computer where to go and what to write.
Shari Taylor, Age 17, Grade 11
I probably will use computers the same way.
Finnes Murrley, Age 16, Grade 11
I really don’t think I will be using computers that much ten years from now. What I want to do in life does not need computers.
Jaime Parede, Age 17, Grade 11
The same but would be able to do everything with the aid of computer.
Teonica Johnson, Age 16, Grade 11
Most likely I plan to use them for the same in 10 years. Most likely I will be using them for fun as well as school work.

I don’t know . . . probably just by touching the screen, the computer will turn on and whatever you want to find on the Internet, it will download in less than a second.
Ashley Johnson, Age 17, Grade 11
I think I will use the computers for everything I do. For instance, like e-mailing documents and receiving them. I also will need the computer to input information and to output information that I might need.

| :. Because of the high cost of computers, many people across Los Angeles have limited access to the Internet. How would you make computers and the Internet more accessible to all people? |
Jessica Pio, Age 16, Grade 11
I would make people just buy the computer already programmed with the Internet. That way you won’t have to pay for the Internet.
Luisanna Meza, Age 16, Grade 11
Well, computers are expensive but every house should have one because it is very useful.
Tylee Walker, Age 16, Grade 11
If it were up to me, I would make computers and the Internet more accessible to all people. I would tell people about the Internet and make them enjoy computers.
Roy Thomas, Age 17, Grade 11
First of all, I would lower the price for computers because everybody likes the Internet but everyone does not have the funds to purchase the computer. Second of all, I would have giveaways at schools for the best essays handwritten.
Shari Taylor, Age 17, Grade 11
Lower the price of computers.
Jaime Parede, Age 17, Grade 11
Have computers available in schools and libraries.
Teonica Johnson, Age 16, Grade 11
First of all, I would lower the price. That way those families who are less fortunate can be able to afford computers. I would also start a business to help those who are unfortunate to get computers.
Doneshia Hodges, Age 16, Grade 11
I would try to get a grant, so I could put computers in school so students would be more educated about technology.
Andrea, Age 17, Grade 11
I would help by making the computer programmed already. Also, I would make them cost less.
Wesley L. Danteler, Age 17, Grade 11
I would make computers and the Internet more accessible by providing computer labs in public libraries so the people can have access to the Internet at all times.
Freddy Sálas, Age 18, Grade 11
Some of the ways the Internet can be more accessible to all people could be if other people could go to a friend’s home, library, or even maybe at school.
Ricardo Paz, Age 16, Grade 11
Try to make buildings filled with computers for those who don’t have access to a computer because it is not fair for those people.
Miguel Caballero, Age 17, Grade 11
Make a program where all people have access to the computers or Internet.
Ashley Johnson, Age 17, Grade 11
I would say lower the prices of computers that could make them more accessible. Plus, make more available at local libraries.
Nate Beavers, Age 17, Grade 11
I would ask that the big shot corporations donate computers for low-income houses and schools.
Kari Mejía, Age 17, Grade 11
I would make it more accessible to all people by charging cheaper for the Internet. That way more people can learn more and know more. Otherwise, we would be denying education from people.
Jermel Chatman, Age 17, Grade 11
Now they have free Internet access.
Courtnei Griswold, Age 16, Grade 11
Well, I wouldn’t because if there are too many people using the Internet, the modems are slower and the dial out lines are too busy.
