Cheaper laptops for kids
The program “One Laptop Per Child” project hopes to lower the cost of laptops to $100 and even $50 for children in third world countries by 2010. The first units that will be shipped within the next year will cost $135 but technological advances hope to bring those prices down even further. The program is supported by the United Nations and it hopes to ship 10 million laptops to Argentina, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Nigeria, and Thailand. The project is not about laptops it’s about education and helping children and the motivation is to eliminate poverty. It would be nice to have such a program here in the United States for children living in poverty here.
