$100 laptop


I have no idea where people get this idea but, I think it is pretty nice to send laptops to people in rural area and facilitate education. Of course, sceptics or may be realists would point out that it is a creation of a new demand for the computers or licences which will expire after distribution and prolongation will cost little money but in volume it will create a massive income.


I really do not care, since it is the best solution currently people have. I think we even should not produce such an expensive computer. I think it is better to produce some kind of sunglasses instead of monitors and finger devices instead of keyboards. Then they should simply be connected to the global network. There we must provide free software to use them.


This will foster the penetration and of course computer world will totally replace the TV world. Currently, we do not pay (or pay very little) for the TV channels. The same should work for the internet world.


Here can arise the problem of storage and that can be solved by grid system which is already used in the world. People donate special space on their computer and energy of their computer and by this support upload and download of the information from their computers.


The rest business should care should be only security. Then, security will mean something. And will not survive with its simple and everywhere applicable meaning...


This was my perspective...
