Things which we thought NOT possible a couple of centuries are possible now.. for eg. mobile phones when seen on Star Trek were thought fiction which became a comman reality these days. However I think they have to drastically change the technology to be able to achieve their goal. However, there is a more important thing that they need to target. A laptop whether $10 or $100 is not a ticket for complete education. A complete mechanism for child education has to be started to be able to uplift India Why not a $ 10 laptop ?

So there's no reason why it can't be done. It' tough, but it ain't impossible. So i'll go wit olivia.

If the Indian government is going to fund this project, that's no problem, but if the Indian people really want to keep the cost under 10 dollars, they really need to work very hard to make great achievement on the technologies (which seems still not available to any other countries) I don’t think this plan is practical based on the present technology. based on my knowledge, the cheapest small mono-LCD (black-white) for cellphone would cost like 3~5 USD (that kind of LCD has been mass-produced for many years).

It’s interesting what you say about the impact of OLPC (One Laptop Per Child). It will help children in developing countries around the world. But it will also change the world of laptops forever. The marketpace will benefit, and I'm sure that every home in the developed world will have one. What is becoming clear is that the OLPC is a not the solution but a starting point for development. This project needs to be handled in a sensitive way. Different needs and cultures must be addressed properly. Only then will the OLPC project be a success. Right now is an exciting time for technology, particularly mobile technology covering laptops, mobile phones and PDAs. Also the web and they way they all work with the web. I get my laptops and peripherals from Portable Universe and I can thoroughly recommend them. The best thing for people to do is to talk to them, let them know what your needs are (both current and future) and they will come up with the best laptop for you. I also get blank DVDs there for my backup. That’s a great article. It’s interesting what you say about the impact of OLPC (One Laptop Per Child).
