$100 Laptop Not So Much Useful As Useless

The $100 laptop project created by Nicholas Negroponte, has recently come under fire for not being quite the breathtaking, important technology it’s supposed to be, as most of the countries the laptop is geared toward would rather have things like food, shelter, and not dying. Various critics of the project have suggested that the laptops, lacking an internet connection or anything really that worthwhile, are much less important than the need for a basic communications and education infrastructure in the developing countries first.
