Teen Rebuilds Old PCs For Those Who Need Them

Are you proud to be humble? Did you fix up 1,500 computers to give to deserving people? That’s what I thought. Jacob Komar has done just that. He created “Computers for Communities” in 2001 which means he comes close to fixing up one computer per day, saving it from hitting the landfill in the process. The story at ABC News is short, but sweet as they say. I have to hand it to Jacob… it’s quite commendable what he’s doing. I’ll be over in the corner sobbing about my own sad existence.

I was at my sister’s elementary school and I found out that they were throwing away a whole lab of computers just because they were outdated. First, I was like, “Well, wow, they’re throwing all these away,” like, you know, “This seems like a waste.” And then I kind of thought about it and I was like, “Wow, well, there’s got to be kids that don’t have computers at home.”
