100$ laptop - Dreams of Dreams
Today, Massachusets Institutes of Techonology(MIT) said they are completing the laptop which when released will cost a 100$-price. The incredible-thing will operate even in place with no electricity as the hand-crank generator comes within.
Using the DVD portable players's technology, the laptop takes their effect, and of course it reduces the price. The laptop has a 500Mhz proccessor, 1G flash memory, and Wifi. In personal opinion, I don't think wifi is really needed, people pay 100$ for a laptop won't be able to use it. But time will tell, maybe in near future, wireless internet is free?
Man nowadays often uses an Athlon/Pentium PCs or laptop, with hundreds of GB storage, so we maybe don't find any interests on this small-weak-useless thing. But hey, look, with poor children, students, 500$/year-income people, it's a big big good one. Children could draw their dreams, students could join the world of information, and poor people have chance to make a better life.
