Should we ban the dreams?
Should a vision ban be legislated?

A USD 100 PC, multiplied 150 million times.

Who will produce this? Under the basement by inexperienced workers, designed by fools?

No pre-production?

Is this a lie by cheating fake companies-institutions?

This is a leapfrog, a big gain from every aspect: education, closing the gap, bringing down prices of components, thus other electronic equipment due to increased production levels, etc.

We should not concentrate on the transient stages of this new era. Look at the bigger picture, and steady state period.

Even if they cannot reach the USD 100 level, they will try.

It is better to inform the visionairres of the solutions to problems, rather than judging them for their search in excellence and the impossible.
