One laptop for you and one for the developing world

One laptop for you and one for the developing world : "For example, Italy is buying all 50,000 XOs that Ethiopia will get in the program's first wave."ind the BUy One Give One litt

If the Buy One Give One is going to be reduced to sums and profit, then it says a lot about how the world works. I should like to think we could all get behind the Buy one , give one idea so that developing nations could be part of our technological world. It's a vital resource for them and helps them to be a part of us. Originally, when I blogged about the 100 dollar laptops they were going to supply them to different nations. Now it's the Buy one , give one approach and it's better because I do not think we should expect developing nations to have something different from us but we do have to provide robust computers which fit in with their life styles. For those nations mobiles and computers will provide critical communication which we take for granted. I hope this scheme really is going to take off and I hope the whole planet can get behind it.
