Jim Fruchterman emphasizes the essential role of technology in addressing issues like homelessness, mental illness, climate change, and child abuse in his new book, Technology for Good. However, nonprofits encounter obstacles such as insufficient funding and limited technological capacity among staff. Developing an understanding of technology's potential is vital for social good organizations to enhance their impact on society.
