Vi linko un interessante articolo collegato all'arogomento, augurandomi che possa servire di riflessione a tutti.
Citazione: | MIT's "$100 laptop" has created a huge buzz, but does it make sense for the developing world? Linux International executive director Jon "Maddog" Hall offered an alternative for South Africans at the LinuxWorld Johannesburg conference last week.
Hall told delegates at the tech conference that although the One Laptop per Child initiative -- which aims to provide children with $100 laptops -- means well, it may not suit countries like South Africa. A better option could be refurbishing old computers and loading free and open-source software on to them.
"Now I'm not saying it is a bad project, but I have alternative for you," he said. "If some of the banks, financial institutions, engineering organisations [etc] decided that they, when they upgrade their computer systems, were going to allow them to be taken apart, refurbished and put back together, and employ people in South Africa to do that and then sell them for $100 a piece, you might find that will generate a huge number of jobs for people and the money will stay inside of South Africa.
