There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of the SF Tech Council. But if you know an older adult or someone with disabilities in San Francisco, the odds are decent they’ve benefited from the group’s work. Since its founding nine years ago, the Tech Council has worked to close the digital divide for such San Franciscans. It has helped get the word out about discounted and free broadband service. It has helped get computers and other devices into the hands of people who couldn’t afford them otherwise. And it has helped to get older people and those with disabilities trained on how to do things such as using health-care providers’ apps to make appointments.
