The greatest use of this development is to improve the literacy rate and empower the children in the third countries with more knowledge because the price of laptop is cheap. Hence it is highly affordable. The plan is to bring affordable to being computer to school children in the developing world. This increase the literacy level of the third world country and in turn speed up the progress to the country, this indirectly narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.
The laptop is cheap because the factory employ the use of cheap labour design and components whereby reducing the cost of production which is found in India and China. Despite the country rise as and out sourcing PCs are selling far more slowly than mobile phone and motorbike – because they are too expensive and too complicated and too difficult to maintain. What people have been waiting for is a new approach to computing that boil the essence of internet access down to its lower cost and lower risk. The US$100 laptop keeps the complex design of a conventional laptop but adapts it to meet the needs of the poor children and to cut manufacturing cost.
The use of laptop is environmental friendly as it reduces the need of textbooks. People pay fines and bills online, therefore saving paper. Many people might question the fact that an US hundred dollar laptop might not sufficiently satisfy the needs of people. However, this is wrong. Let’s think of what a hundred dollar laptop can do that a thousand dollar laptop can do. Three things. First, it can be recharge with human power because it’s very power efficient. Secondly, multiple units can work together to form a mesh wireless network. Lastly, the screen is readable in sunlight, takes a maximum of 14% of the power consumption and has high-resolution.
