some people is talking about this part of southamerica like we are nude savages running in the streets asking the tourists for candies... yes... we are the so called third world... but the news that the "first world" gets from this part of the world is always the bad news... the region is growing, and fast; NorthAmerica and Europe are in crisis, every american citizen has a burden of 50.000 dollars, but the US have the advantage of having a good GDP and that his debt is in his own currency, so they simply can keep printing dollars (until someday the whole system will crash).
back to the post... we dont need this OLPCs, we need better teachers and better education, but most governments take advantage of the uneducated working class... "hey kid take this computer and take this unemployment benefit for your fathers and tell them to vote for us..." so the circle never ends, because almost always the computers dont reach the kids that really need them.
Im not talking about mujica, because he is waaay better than previous presidents, but here in southamerica this is the neverending story... but I still have hope.
sorry for my poor english and the long post
