$10 is probably too low, just like $100 which is also a difficult reality, now somewhere at $176. I wonder, what is the use of a laptop in Indian or any under-developed or developing countries, where large number of kids don't go to school even when they are given food to eat and allowance at the end of the day.
OLPC probably is only a fancy western imagination. The reality is this:
"The Indian Ministry of Education dismissed the laptop as "pedagogically suspect". Education Secretary Sudeep Banerjee said: "We cannot visualise a situation for decades when we can go beyone the pilot stage. We need classrooms and teachers more urgently than fancy tools."
Absolutely. $100 or $176 laptop makes no sense.
