Also, making this laptop work will require a lot more understanding of people in the underdeveloped world by people in the overdeveloped world (and maybe vice-versa). For the project to truly "get it right," it must not only fit into the computer culture(s) that will inevitably develop around the new interface and apps, but the hundreds of different actual cultures of people who receive the machine as well. Otherwise, we're just foisting off one more set of one-size-fits-all computing preferences and practices on the rest of the world.
