If this year's richest man, Bill. Gates and the year's most desirable man Nicholas. Negroponte sit down together, guess what they talk?
Hundred dollar computer.
Yes, they talking about a laptop, Negroponte was known, Laptop. Negroponte Laptop heart is to give poor children can not afford the computer used. In fact, one hundred dollars in the back of the computer has a huge Plan: changes. This means, it is likely Microsoft will participate in OLPC. So, these two rich and have a great influence of men, will be for the poor children on the planet what?
great idea, light four shot.
However, for poor children, one hundred U.S. dollars mean? computer what does it mean? Negroponte once wrote a book book called the technological utopia. hundred dollars computer will become a new utopia?
Negroponte tried to persuade governments to support his plan. At present, the focus of the public or planned Laptop itself. We assume that, even if the cost of Laptop Negroponte really put a hundred dollars or even more expensive to do, he's more practical to face a more difficult question is how these computers to children in need hands and enable them to continue using it.
solely from this perspective, perhaps in different countries, a hundred dollars for a poor child means more, not just computers. a hundred dollars the government can do for the children more things, rather than let their online mm while the Administration is clearly the cause. hundred dollars can not be a chance the computer is the key, how to let the children get equal opportunities, not just cheap computer itself can be resolved, including appropriate training and education, maintenance, and supporting infrastructure, sustained beneficial content providers and not the yellow website. who will do these things? not by the government and were able to complete the enthusiasm of the people.
the poor, the understanding of poverty, everyone is different.
at this point , perhaps $ 27 more telling than $ 100.
about 32 years ago, in Bangladesh, a poor village called Deepak Chopra, 42 destitute peasant never thought I could get them to have 27 dollars, which changed their lives. to provide them with the funds of the President is called Mohammed. Yunus, in his autobiography, said, because he found, as long as 27 dollars, these women can buy the raw materials they need, manufacture bamboo stool, sold, we can solve the problem of hunger.
Yunus to give money to people in need, need the opportunity to people.
our esteemed Mr. Yunus, the economist, identity, access to this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
Yunus and his Grameen Bank (Grameen Bank), with no mortgage micro-credit model and the corresponding mechanisms of moral hazard and changed the fate of the poor.
3 in ITU2006 ITU Telecom World in Hong Kong so great to take on more than 650 telecommunications, said.
So, Negroponte and Gates of the meeting is beneficial to the OLPC. public welfare does not mean charity, I think need more commercially driven. charity is a huge system, need to run a sustainable operation in a large commercial machine, mm, not from time to time, more or less the love and ideals. That is, more importantly, is, who will give? how to give?
Yunus said, If the.
