"The aim of the $100 laptop initiative is to provide each child in the developing world with a laptop that can also act as an e-book, a tablet PC and a TV in a bid to help bridge the digital divide."

I'm glad to see people are concerning themselves with the problems of the developing world, however, considering that £15 is enough to provide one person with enough clean water for drinking, hygeine and sanatation in the developing world, I think that there are better things to spend $100 on!
