Title A third-World Laptop Provokes a Big Debate

Author John Markoff

This Idear is pretty Cool,buy a notebook only cost 100 dollars.Can i buy 5  to use(In home,work,toilet,living room and kitchen)?


When computer industry executives heard about a plan to build a $100 laptop for the developing world's childrem,they generally ridiculed the Idea.But it comes trues in the coming season.


I received a email from sulin on 11/28,it introduced $100 notebook.I just didn't put in my mind.He works in Quanta Computer(the world's second largest laptop maker) as the article mention these computer will be produced there.I don't know if he has tested this cool machine or not.If it is possilbe, i want to buy one from him.


The chief goal of this nonprofit project is for education in poor country.As they can not affroad normal notebook as we can,their resource is so limited.As the article says,Argentina,Brazi,Libya,Nigeria and Thailand have made tentative commitments to put the computers into the hands of millions of students,with producation in Taiwian expected to begin by mid-2007.


The laptop does not come with a Microsoft Windows operation system or even a hard drive,it use Linux.Cool,i just hate Microsoft making too much money.


The third world or the developing country really has difficulity to develop information technology,I had browsed one cool website,it mentioned some University students spend time and money to provide IT environment in Mae Tao.I think their thoughs is the same.
