The term “free iPad with food stamps” refers to a government program that once provided free iPads to low-income families who receive food stamps. The program was part of a larger effort to bridge the digital divide and provide access to technology for disadvantaged communities.
The program was launched in 2011 and was initially met with some criticism. However, it quickly became popular, and over 2 million iPads were distributed to families across the country. The program was discontinued in 2016, but it is still remembered as an important step towards increasing access to technology for low-income families.
