Net2Con: $100 Laptop
I'm geeking out right now.
I heard the crowd give a hushed "wow"!
When the $100 laptop is closed it continues to act as a router for all of the laptops in the village. If one laptop gains a connection to the internet all the laptops gain access through the peer network. This means even when the laptop is "off" it is not really "off". It is running on a low level of energy to keep the network in tact.
If a woman or girl needs examples of how technology can have a postive impact on the world's people, this project is it.
This rocks!
