$10 Laptops For Everyone


Imagine buying a new MacBook or Dell laptop for only $10.

Well, you can if you're one of two billion or so unadequately educated children growing up in developing countries.

According to Engadget, India's Ministry of Human Resource Development has a machine in the works that currently costs $47 but could cost $10 when manufactured in bulk and Nicholas Negroponte founder of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) has developed a $100 laptop, the XO, which has already received an order of one million from Nigeria.

All this inspiration for developing cheap computers is so school children can get better access to educational information. It still comes at a heavy price as developing countries sometimes spend less than $20 per pupil.

I'm interested when mobile phones will start popping up in classrooms.
