GOOD: Kinkajou Projector

[sagayoutu]

I love GOOD Magazines

[PadawanAmi]

That's pretty awesome. Cute name... awesome idea; glad your guys' hearts are in the right place :)

[tenshady]

I love GOOD Magazines contents but they seem to fail on providing credits specifically for the native or indigenous music.

Happy New Year to ALl

[cinpee]

Great initiative!

[Ezcut]

nice .

[TheYouSphere]

If Kinkajou is so successful why aren't they using it for their own childreN?

[jessssss624]

because we don't need it.

99% of americans and canadians can read.

also, our teaching methods work fine, we're not a third world country. we can afford normal projectors.

[Ezcut]

lol , your facts are wrong ignorant fuck!....

[jessssss624]

99% of canadians and americans can read, retard.

[RubberRepublicDE]

awesome! i really like that!

[videocrunch]

Great video:-)

[1986subu]

[jadovyjbarbitur]

DAMN, SO COOL !!!

[Chick6517]

would say believing to have contracted terminal eye cancer, and therefore actually having to change one of the lines in Paper towns.

[claudiaberol]

Very, beutiful, diferents peaples!

[ridingisasport]

Thats just awesome.

[laureboufwaz]

I speek a little spanish I want to learn more

[gvsuAJ137]

great work.

[kudjo24]

love it when people do stuff like this

[Simoen]

I think more of this needs to be happening, finding inexpensive ways to help people, to learn to help themselves.

[Honorguard65]

That's a bad thing you prick?! Everyone has a right to learn and to prosper. Don't be an ignorant bigot and get with the times. Racial prejudice and discrimination was outlawed long ago.

[leloodallasmultipass]

oh, you fell for that one.  nice.

[thedirtyhat]

Murder was outlawed a long time ago too... but people still do it. Law doesn't dictate behavior.

[jrdn7730]

that's pretty sweet.

[LoveAmericaStyle]

Send your youtubes to me at bransonetfisher yahoo and bootstrapsfisehr aol and gorefisherbranson gmail t be put on janeewadeshalwendachrist blogspot

its update daily

Check it out and spread the word

[ellhow]

Isn't it a bit patronising when us whities help africans like this?

[jetandtux]

I don't think so...if in your heart you are just helping - human to human. I think that's what we were created to do. We just don't do it enough - or sometimes we 'help' for selfish reasons....

[ReligionIsSophistry]

awesome, we can donate for a cause like that

[pakitas09]

$25 Porjector who would of thought

[kalaniman1]

the youtube apocalypse is coming...

[mooganz]

This is amazing :)

good for you for doing the type of thing that really makes an impact rather then just bringing one of the babies home and pretending you care.

[MrBillTroop73]

maybe they should try this in California Schools !

[utubesuckstube]

Nice to see people make a difference on Youtube!

[guestvast]

dios mio buenas impresionante asombrado im sorry

[cnmarine2006]

how are these devices powered? if they are using lanterns that means they have no lighting / electricity?

[martinlink007]

The projector is lighted by LED's, which work on batteries (at least in my opinion). So it is cheap and useful!

[digitalfxcube]

crank power generator + storage battery attached to the projector.

[mickjethro]

Amazing! More power to good people.

[RealKengeki]

Woooo! Rock on!

[ghost2ber]

That's a great idea. Kudos!

[Bureyeanne]

Microfilm attempted the goal of housing the world's data. It was in essence what the internet is now. It is a still a very good storage device.

[ahypnos]

"The internet" is not a storage device. All the data available on the net is stored on servers equipped with (predominantly) magnetic storage devices, also known as Hard Disk Drives. [Some are equipped with flash memory (SSDs)] Just being nitpicky.

[Bureyeanne]

WO MOMA! I wrote that microfilm was a storage device. I didn't write that "the internet" was a storage device. Microfilm's goal was to be a way in which the worlds information could be exchanged; in essence what the internet is today. My point that microfilm is more solid and tangible, I've had hard disk components go out and files get corrupted. I'm told that gold is the best material in that is strong, never rusts and soft enough to carve, but where are we all going to get a bunch of gold?

[Mucinsh]

Now that is what I call helping :) good work

[IRONFISTSTRIKE]

Can we make public donations to further fund this? I would like to be a part of this.

[Skurgefaust]

friggin cool this is what i love to see

[rmuhoho]

This is a great video. Im sure going to share it at facebook

[jackuy12345]

u r just doing advet for ur thing right there

[Alphasys]

Awesome small-tech solution. I hope this will help numerous lives. If this was funded by some charity, alone? I'd give.

[arigogalvao]

GENIOUS!!!

[jamesfar]

Wow! Great job whoever invented this thing!

[unforgiven2369]

why does it matter to us if they can read.

[Eapix]

For The same reason that you should think before posting a comment.

[Edinaldo08]

It's interesting that people like anything that is projected on a screen. One could think that it is because we have been watching television since birth but it doesn't seems to be the case in this non electricity vilages. Maybe it is just because it seems like a dream.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

How about Knight School where the students are taught by a talking car?

[cloudywhitesky]

dude making these projector reels (and projector+electricity too) cost more than delivering an ordinary book or arranging a light buld in the class room. Don't you have common sense.

[daltonend]

hey, to have a light bulb you need electricity and the projector runs on batteries( a clue is the projector has LEDs inside it) and did you listen to the vid it said that the books are shiped to that country from the U.S. do you know how much is to send items across the sea . Also the projector increased the people in the classroom.

[cloudywhitesky]

from where will these reels come? probably USA.

[Ashedown]

Dude, it costs 25 dollars to send 30 books on this system, thats the price of one physical book alone.

[TheStrangerDied]

Most text books, even for younger students, often cost around $20-$40 minimum.

[Maux4200]

LAAAMEEE

[Penguinemz]

I think that is a good way to educate them. But don't let them get to many ides

[noheliregina]

I think im dissapointed at so much people who say mean things about this. Its something nice that were trying to do to help the people who need it, one step at a time. So I think that if you dont have anything good to say just dont say anything at all.

[outrider52]

good idea - sad, though, that we have to dump our unwanted microfilm on indigenous populations

[xawesomexelix]

lol, that's so messed up.

[n3rdbear]

12v car battery + 12v solar panel + 800 watt inverter + 100 watt halogen lamp = less than $200?

That would at least last 3 years. The solar panel will charge the battery during the time then when it's not pushing enough juice during the night the voltage of the battery will overpower the solar panel and energize the lamp.

[xawesomexelix]

education versus strict dogma. i think they need education. have fun at church mister.

=) sure you can learn about how god created the universe. OR, you can actually be productive and learn about science and math, philosophy, arts/music. just saying. these people have their own spiritual beliefs, but they need education about the real world to survive and thrive in the modern world.

[cpsrcp90]

go smart people!

[ndjarnag]

you are awesome.

[AllenJB52]

Cool idea.

[andbal7791]

aprendamos a ser humanos

[einerus]

why they reinventing something that exist for years?

if it's not a digital projector than why not use old style microfilm projectors, which would cost much less then 25$ now???

[Eyedunno]

"why not use old style microfilm projectors, which would cost much less then 25$ now???"

Because those would require a lot of electricity, and these classrooms don't have ANY electricity (hence the kerosene lanterns shown). That high-intensity LED is key here - it can run for hours on battery power - presumably there's a crank or solar mechanism to charge the batteries here.

[RenchardBale]

I don't usually read the full context to find the context of it all and neither does my grammar...however it is understandable at least to me it is, and if you don't even get the message in between the lines, then I am not the stupid one.

[coolchanga]

i love good magazine ... thanks for bringing us what humans can do when we want

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Yes, the word Fantastic fits well, also the great idea and the way to build it.

[moby6002]

These videos make me feel so good!

[ViolentServant]

This is Fantastic!

[florciampoli]

HERMOSOOOOOOO!!! que linda es la frikin gente cuando quiere!

[clintrocks69]

fantastic!

[jennabeanski]

Oh goodness, could we stop being so nit-picky about 'is' and 'are'...that's completely irrelevant and unimportant compared with the message of this movie. It's amazing what this group is doing!

[babigurlml]

This makes me feel a little better about humanity. Thanks

[Todd8Todd8Todd]

ARE illiterate.

That's just pathetic.

[anozir]

o_O isn't "One" singular and not plural so "is" would be the correct usage? It seems like one of those vague grammatical things since it refers to that one adult but in a group of 5 adults. Anyone know for certain?

EDIT: sp

[yannique]

ONE adult IS illiterate. one todd should think twice.

[Todd8Todd8Todd]

No. One in five is not the same as one person, just as the five aren't actually five people.

[midnightblue19]

...but it is treated as a singular, and when used as the subject in the sentence it is just like someone or no one or somebody. These are all words that do not refer to "ONE" but a non-discrete number.

[emaldo08]

i think it is "is" instead of "are." one in five is. freaking grammar!

GOOD rules btw

[funlovingmonkey]

lol you totally pwnd yourself.

[sth128]

Go back to school. You should be shamed; access to internet and still can't read properly.

[Todd8Todd8Todd]

Speak for yourself, sth128. You have four mistakes in one sentence.

[ramanglass544]

this makes me proud of humanity

[Gunnar00]

awesome! go kinkajou!

[horizonflyer9]

very "bright" idea lol

[Mohruebi]

We need more products like this. Not 100 $ laptops.

[wtfeeez]

this is kewl :]

[urbanV8]

25 bucks nice :)
