If i couldnt afford a $100 laptop, then im probably more concerned about surviving than surfing the internet. I fail to see how a laptop would get you out of poverty, more so when you would have to walk many miles just to be able to log on the internet to really make it of any true value. It would almost be better to send them the $5 dollar manual on how to use it, at least this way they would also learn how to read....
I am a college student, I had to take out a loan just to buy my now outdated laptop. As college students go, we typicaly live in poverty surviving off of Ramen noodles and Cheesey Mac. Wheres our free shit!?
Opportunities are not earned, they are taken; free $100 dollar laptops are not a good means to opportunities. Give them food, give them education with as close to a one-to-one basis as possible. Don't give them a laptop that wont be used for its intended purpose. Since necessity is the mother of all invention..... I'll leave the rest for you to decide
