100 Buck Laptop

I dunno.

It's a great idea in so many ways. Hell it's certainly better then selling them guns. It's nice to see rich countries buuilding a product with poor countries in mind, instead of as an after thought, if at all.

But..Will it fit? Is it a cultural arrogance to believe that they will want to use them? We, in the west, sit around alot. TV, Movies, Video games, internet, email, desk jobs, driving, eating out. We sit alot so we like to do this that involve sitting. Maybe they'd get bored or wouldn't get it. Like why play a video of soccer when you can just play soccer? We think the opposite. Why play solitare with cards when we can play it on the computer?

Watch the video and tell me what you think.


Today's Song of the Day is "Ce Matin-La" by Air off their 1998 album "Moon Safari."

Crazy Fact: Their soundscapes are composed on old-school gear like Moogeses and Rhodeses, not fancy new gear, dudes can you tell. get smoove bitches.
