Well, I'm sick of people that keeps stereotyping the different nationalities too, but I'm playing the same 'game' than everybody does here. It seems that if you don't play it you're out.
Your choise, but I don't think you should lower yourself in doing the same thing that "everybody" else does, you seem more intelligent than that.
As for the Argentinian situation, you definitely know more than I do, but what I do know for certain is that every country has a poverty problem and I don't think buying 1M laptops is helping a lot their situation.... lets all just sit and hope that it was the right decision.
Huh, actually... I'd blame the '1M minimum laptop order' rule.
They have food and water (ever been to thailand? Food's the last thing they need help with), but they don't have access to technology.
you can read the comments:
"Two children eat rotten organges in the shanty town slum (called a 'villa'). Their parents collect trash to find food, and cardboard to sell to recyclers, in order to survive"
That's in Argentina sir, you sure all they need is access to technology?
Just because we're outside the US doesn't mean we aren't enough intelligent to operate a computer. Well, they have food, a clean source of water, a chance to go to school, they only need a teacher.
I want to add something you said to that(I don't know about him but I'm not from US so be a little more creative about me and I'm sick of people that keeps stereotyping the different nationalities).
There are people with a lot of money... people with a normal economic situation, who can buy a house or two, have a computer (or 3, as I do) and a car, and there are poor people.
Well, how would you know they have clean water and food? after all you don't seem to live in a place nearby so I'd suggest you speak for yourself. I agree they're better off with some food than a laptop. After all you're creating a necessity by giving them a laptop, on the other hand, food IS a necessity their families have. After all, Argentina is not even fully recovered from the crisis...
Surely it's gonna happend.... eventually.
Might not be implanting electrodes into your mouth and your throat but why not? in some other way in a decade from now.

Finally someone is making sense!
