I cant stand this organization. They promise one laptop to every child, but … they are giving them only to AFRICAN children. I think in india are kids in need of notebooks too!
But this is the best -> “Why give a laptop to a child who has no running water?” the OLPC asked in a statement. “If you replace the word “laptop” with “education” the answer becomes clear. You don’t wait to educate until all other challenges are resolved. You educate at the same time because it’s such an important part of all other solutions.”"
Yes, laptops + INTERNET ( i doubt they have any in desert ) = EDUCATION, laptop without internet = solitaire. They probably want to make them gamblers or something.
And with Internet. They need water, food and so, no laptops. Giving laptop to African child and saying that you are giving him education is like giving 3 year old kid lessons about integrals and saying that you are giving him proper education.
You can see this in scifi all the time. Some smart aliens are smart and they refuse to give us the technology because we are not able to handle it, so why we ( the smart aliens ) should be giving technology to Africa ( humans ) ? They are refusing to accept fact, that Africa is not yet ready for laptops.
They done this in past too, just check google ak47 africa.
