Is a US$100 laptop too good to be true? What's more, it does not need batteries!Nicholas Negroponte, chairman and founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Labs, has been outlining designs for a sub-$100 PC. Here is the news.
This is indeed good news for many 3rd world countries (Malaysia included) as most people are still outside the information revolution due to lack of access to computers and the internet.
Prohibitive cost is the main reason for many Malaysians not to be able to tap in. At aroun RM380, it may still be outside the affordability of many still, especially those in the lower income group and in the rural districts.
Lets hope this breakthrough will be soon.
