Taipei County formed a volunteer team Monday to help further narrow the digital gap among county residents after more than 100,000 people benefited from a similar program launched three years ago. The team will promote digital learning in more towns and communities in the county, with more than 100 volunteers teaching residents basic skills, such as surfing the Internet and setting up blogs, according to a statement released by the county government. The formation of the volunteer team will enable people to obtain practical skills, such as learning how to use the Internet and then marketing local specialties online, said Taipei County Magistrate Chou Hsi-wei at a ceremony at Shihmen Elementary School to launch the team. Chou also announced that as part of the initiative, used computers from government agencies will be given to disadvantaged families. In addition, the county has set up 30 'Digital Outposts of Hope' in 29 towns to provide free computer classes and Internet access, according to Wang Chen- shiuen, chairman of the county's Research, Development and Evaluation Commission.
