Leave it to the media to take a perfectly good effort which could better the lives of many children, and turn it into a nightmare. Some asshole reporter wrote an article about nigerian kids using the OLPC’s (one laptop per child system) to view pornagraphic websites. Any computer could be used to do this you clown.. Would it be better to not let them have pc access, stay computer illiterate in a computer dependent world? Anyway the OLPC group have decided to install filters to block such websites from being viewed.

Now in all honestly this is a negative yes.. well maybe.. that nigerian kid could be the next ron jeremy, but along with that negative comes loads of other positives early exposure to computer usage, lowered computer illiteracy and just increased knowlege in generall (wikipedia).

Ontop of that intel seems to wanna cut in on the OLPC project with their “classmate” pc. I respect the movement / concept of the OLPC and hope it all works out. As for that reporter. go get bent you asshole.
