BBC NEWS | Technology | UN debut for $100 laptop for poor

MIT has unveiled a laptop designed to be used by children in developing countries. This laptop represents a radical change from existing computer paradigms, with its operations being controlled by the end user: a crank for power, peer-to-peer wireless networks, and it runs on free-software (linux).

Developments like this may not only help bring much of the world out of poverty, but do so in a way that isn't dependent upon massive, centrally-controlled infrastructure.
