One "craptop" per child! Ooh I made a funny!

I am Hy-larious! :D This is why the current generation is so impotent and fat, rather than being taught how the real world works, exercising and being productive.... they're being taught how to browse the internet and type stuff. Wooooooo.

Not only do third world countries have far more important things to worry about than being connected to the information superhighway, they also don't need the developed world's patronage with their stupid $100 crappy laptops.

But this doesn't go just with the third world, I don't understand exactly what this fixation on hi-tech education is... I just ready today that Oprah opened a school in South Africa, with a focus on "modern education." What is that exactly? Does not a child today still need to know the basics of life that was taught 20-30 years ago? FYI people, computer skills are not essential to a productive life. Things like exercise, proper eating habits, literacy and motivation are more important than learning how to sit in a chair and browse the net.
