Gadgets and internet

[edit]

I hope to be enlightened:

"To volunteer ones time and energy is not an easy task, hence a bit tricky when they have to go the extra mile (buy their own Internets or don't have devices) so they can just volunteer."

Although it sounds true to some extent that possibly, those with the most amazing wiki volunteet spirit do not have gadgets or internet, my question is: how is one able to determine that this person or that, with a gadget or internet, will be a volunteer?

I'll like to learn. After training a group of people and they show interest, doest it automatically mean with the means they'll be active editors?

I know some who was zealous without gadgets or the abundance of internet. From where I stand, I see it to me of "I enjoy doing this" than, "when I get this that, I'll enjoy doing it."

As little as an mtn sim, and even the most basic of Android phones today, one can edit on Wikipedia with as less as 0 Ghana cedis.

The mobile editing of Wikipedia has improved so much over the years that editing on the phone isn't that much of something requiring the best of gadgets of the industry. I posted this message from phone. My phone might be considered relatively advanced, but a mere Android One phone today can edit Wikipedia.

So back to the point, are gadgets and internet the needed ingredients for active contributing, or we should target something else? --Nkansahrexford (talk) 16:59, 1 January 2016 (UTC) Nkansahrexford (talk) 16:59, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
