the idea is to give children in the developing nation access to a laptop which is a noble cause. however, the practicality of the implimentation of giving or selling laptops to these poor children wouldn't work out in the long run. Although, I haven't read the research on it yet, so I don't know. Yet, I imagine a lot of these kids or their families if they recieved them for free would sell them or the kids would sell them or they would be stolen from the young kids at least. You'd always put survial over a laptop. none the less though, it will provide a different demographic access to laptops perhaps not the one they are shooting for. I'd have to read up on this though.
