A Hand Cranked Laptop for Students in Poor Countries
Hand cranked access to the world's information:
Nicholas Negroponte, MIT's Media Lab Chairman, has accounced plans to build a hand-cranked wireless laptop for approximately $100.
In principle, the project seems simple: Design a laptop with built-in wireless and minimal power consumption, find manufacturers willing to build it for about $100, convince governments to buy it in quantities of at least 1 million as an initial order, and give it to schoolchildren to keep as their own property. (The goal is tens of millions produced and distributed within two years.)
