That is the coldest (One Laptop Per Child) thing to do, first and foremost 3rd world country don’t have wifi so those laptops are just useless brick and they don’t usually the child usually don’t have electricity.

@ MotherOfAllBombs1 – education does not matter if you are dead…

Not all poverty is equal.
Really poor kids who are starving to death don’t care about laptops nor about “infrastructure”.
But poor kids who are not starving to death probably have a better chance getting out of poverty with an OLPC.

Asus’ Eee Notebook seems to be inspired by the OLPC.

Some dumb people agian…

OLPC are not eatalbe of course!
This “starving” argument is soooo arogant!!!
This is for education benefit at developing countries not specifically at regions where people are starving, and I now that some of you are very suprised by the fact that helping starving people and helping (not starving but) people still in need it is not necessary the same thing…

The OLPC vision is something that will change the way of sending aid to developing nations. The XO laptop is an investment for education in children, meaning the future.

the thing is they may never escape poverty without the skills to use technology. institutes in Africa are in desperate of people to operate their technology. sure keep them alive with food and such, but help them escape poverty themselves. it stops the need to send food and such to them if they can afford it themselves using the skills they aquire for using these laptops.

U are a dumb ass, most third world countries dont want aid in food and medicine they want money for infrastructure. If they just get food and medicine they’ll stay in the same dilemma, if you give them education then maybe they can be self reliant and escape poverty

Why should I care about this guys opinion on the moral value of the OLPC ? I’ll judge that for myself. What is the tech comparison ?

i agree with stardust. i dont understand how having a laptop will help them. can they order free shipments of food on them?

how would a starving child benefit from a laptop when they need food and medicine?

Give them food, medicine and condoms, not a tool so they can post on myspace.

If you nurture a wild animal with food it will become dependent on it and know not how to defend or look after itself. is one point of view.. another is that all the people in the world who are in need of help are not just all starving, under medicated, STD risks.

either way, im sure there are greater uses for these machines, including the one your sitting on, than accessing myspace, some just take that for granted.
