In the interview, Laurie Scop discusses her experience as a state of Florida social worker providing digital resources to folks in need. She implores the need for digital access to those who have the least opportunities, particularly the homeless. She also discussed how children need access to technology in order to excel in school. Mrs. Scop focused how these digital divides are caused by South Florida's wealth and opportunity gaps.

She mentioned putting these experiences into her memoir.
