One Laptop per Child: http://laptop.org

It's an education project, not a laptop project. Inexpensive, durable, networked laptops are important to better education everywhere in the world, empowering children and communities, and sharing access to modern skills with every child on the planet.

  • good idea,but why the fuck would the laptop fall off a mountain?

  • Just out of a tree. laptops fall, you know. Mountain drop tests I haven't done...

  • props to this company.

  • thanks kr0wn3d. javi, not in any quantity.

  • For the Internet connection, how about using the TV Spectrum, the same stuff Google is talking about using in the USA on the 700mhz spectrum. Use that to routers that then forward a WiFi mesh signal.

  • That's an interesting idea.  Also ground-based radio, if you don't need such high bandwidth.
