Ask Slashdot: Where Should a Geek's Charitable Donations Go?

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-accept-all-major-credit-cards dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I'm in the position to direct (or at least suggest the direction of) a fairly large amount of charitable donation on behalf of a foundation interested in promoting education. As a lifelong geek, I'd like to see some of this money directed toward organizations involved in things geeks-like (e.g. spreading technology in education to those without it, improving the use of technology for those who have it, etc.). If it was up to you, what charitable organizations would you support and why?"

    What has changed in "3x=24" in the last, oh, 1000 years that requires a new revision of a textbook?

    The introduction of Arabic Numerals (replacing Roman Numerals), around the year 1200, definitely required new textbooks.
