well of course it's a vague term, but we have the vantage point of deciding whether or not it is a vague term rather than view the reality that is.
Have you ever visited a third world country? Liberia? Congo? Somalia? Maybe you have laughed at South Park's jokes about Marvin...
Talk about something you know about for a change.
Yeah, OK, so someone wants to do "good" by providing third world kids with laptops. Cool, I like computers, I wouldn't mind turning someone else onto my fetish for this particular tool.
But, what do children (and adults), really need in a third world country? They want something to eat and a safe place to stay, and I can think of a million other things than a fucking $100 laptop that would be more useful. how about a dentist? a doctor? clothes? a school to teach them how to use the laptop?
What about guaranteeing them a lunch everyday? Wouldn't it be useful if we could guarentee the kids a hot meal every day when they went to a public school, if they were lucky enough to be able to go to school?
That's where I think we should put our knowledge and money towards, lets feed them and give them medicine first.
The $100 laptop deal sounds like an entrepreneurial venture at best.

You bought a cable from CompUSA? Hahahaha, how much did you spend on the cable? Seriously, there are cheaper places to buy cable.
