I started this forum with a few simple goals: I recognized a need for a more convenient way for residents of Cottonwood to be kept aware! Three floors, 80 units, and one announcement is posted on the bulletin board. Useless! My vision is bad and I have to wait to hear about it from a friend. I'm pretty sure many just plain never see it, so not much good. Along with that, the one on the bulletin board near the elevator is at eye-level for a six-footer. Many people here must need a chair to read the board! I thought having access to a forum and email would really be nice. Only after creating this forum did I find out most here do not have computers, so there is little use for an expensive Internet connection when TV is the main reason to pay for Comcast or AT&T. I knew there were better options. I wanted to help make changes, hoping to inform people about what they are missing.
That research now done (Don't miss this page of options for cutting your bill) the next problem is getting people made aware that this forum exists. Announcements are being distributed to the Senior Center and some medical locations where seniors can be found. There are many pages of ideas here on cutting expenses, the page about Internet is aimed to really drop the cost of even just TV! The idea is to encourage people to save on their connection and spend a bit to get even a basic tablet to have access to the Internet. That is the real hope. People may not know how much more useful it is to have wi-fi. TV and online shopping, all with a simple tablet? Why not?
