• Interesting comment by Kdiggy Dogger
  I completely disagree with Kdiggy, a cheap laptop will reveal some knowledge to the poor and it may help their life. And we have to be extra precautious about 'poor' definition here. If Kdiggy's definition of 'poor' is the outback people in Africa that still hold spear and bow to hunt their food, then I completely agree.
  
  But how about those 'poor' people that live in civilized country? that can't afford $600 PC? $100 PC will enable them to get exposed to computer and they can learn from it.
  
  And remember, food-shelter-cloth and computers are 2 different things. Computer is an education tool, so providing cheap computer means providing cheap education to them. And hopefully their life can be a better life one day.
  
  Mentioning all of this, I'm not in socilogy or anthropology forum right? =) ...
