hey i suggest ask people donate their pentium 2 and 3 laptop and the teachers use a core i7 desktop:) as for the server, he/she must use a olpc:)

Very well done. Makes you think... and I learned much that I didn't know before watching this video.

peace, Villager

Excellent cause, compellingly shot, well-performed, but not sure the setup worked. Why is $200 for a laptop better than 6 years of rural Chinese school? The piece doesn't say.

A better approach would emphasize what the divide is doing in "the 3rd World," contrasted against the revolution happening elsewhere. Then, say that for $10 apiece, you + 19 friends (or 10 at $20 apiece) can "change the world." This would be the stronger narrative approach I feel. Excellent effort, though, overall.

Hey I never replied to your concern about $199 for a laptop and the 6 yrs of schooling in rural China. We were attempting to teach college students and other views the comparative value of $199 in all the countries represented in our class. To make the amount globally understood. For $199 we can give a child the world at their fingertips rather than waiting 6 years.

Taking one laptop per child and creating one laptop per class challenge is a great idea! Great work!!
