Laptops for the hungry

One of the problems faced by the poorest countries in the world is that of child labour. Children who ought to be at school getting an education are out working because there is no other way for their families to earn enough to make ends meet. This is the world in which the United Nations announced in 2005 that it was setting a goal according to which every child in the developing world would have a laptop by 2015. A company had designed a very simple laptop that would be powered by a wind-up mechanism so it could be used in areas that don't yet have electricity; the final price tag would be no more than 100 dollars. The plan is for governments and charities to buy these laptops and distribute them to children in the poorest areas of the world. It is not yet clear what software will be installed on the laptops, but it will surely include one or two games. Those children in Bangladesh will be delighted to know that after a long day breaking bricks they can relax with their laptops playing their favourite computer game. When hearing announcements like this it is not easy to avoid being cynical. Of course it would be great if everyone had a computer and access to the internet, but is it right to make that a priority now when so many children are currently deprived of the most basic education? And when so many children are falling ill and dying from water-borne diseases isn't it much more urgent that this problem be sorted out?
