Jacob's Cool Computer Program

Its cool when your kid can be really smart and not even know it, they always have a solution to helping and solving problems like Jacob Komar from Burlington, Conn. when he was 5 years old he was already writing in the computers. By the time he was 8 he took apart computers and he actually put them back together that is sooo coool!! a year later he found out that his sister's skool was throwing away a bunch of computers. First he refurbished the machines and the help of the Connecticut Department of Social Services he gave them to families in Hartford, Conn. area. Jacob soon had kids fixing old machines and soon his organization, Computers for Communities was born. By 2001 their group has fixed more then 2,000 refurbished computers. Jacob said he isn't helping people for money, acclaim or even free tortilla chips. He said he doing it for people who go through life everyday without a computer and nooo access to the internet, and those people are at a great disadvantage. Soo he's only doing it to help others, which I think is cool and helpful.
