Here's why we should all stop and think about how we intend technology to be put to use. This is a quote from the project's home page:
"Recent work with schools in Maine has shown the huge value of using a laptop across all of one's studies, as well as for play. Bringing the laptop home engages the family. In one Cambodian village where we have been working, there is no electricity, thus the laptop is, among other things, the brightest light source in the home."
There's so many flaws in their reasoning I'll just let that speak for itself. Maybe they should just go back to developing computers for schools in Maine.
