Inexpensive computers

Have you seen the little laptops that one of the major companies in the States has produced? It looks like it was put together by Fisher Price. It is durable, colourful and sized just right for young kids. That was the idea.
Whatt the producers want to happen is for those who can afford it to buy one for their own child, and by doing so, purchase one to be given to a third world or underprivileged child. The plan is that every child in the world should have the same advantages when getting an education.
Let me point out, these little laptops are no toys. They are Internet capable, work wireless, and have pretty good resolution on the screen. On a television news article, they showed one of these things playing streaming video. It's better than the first computer I ever learned to use. If things go the way they are meant to, we will have a very large computing world indeed.
I think they are serious about all of this. The tiny machines are running a simplified but very effective version of linux software as the operating system. They've avoided the whole Windows Vista thing. At least they got around that whole thing.
In case you haven't figured it out, I am an advocate for this program. The more companies we can get on board, the better. We made this a technical world, so we had better get our people on the ball. I'd like to see these machines made for use in Canadian schools, just as much as in the third world. These are computers made for kids the world over. It's a great start for the next generation. With the wireless abilities, each classroom could have a couple of printers, and kids could just print out their homework assignments.
If we insist on kids having computers to do everything, let's do the job right.
