OLPC laptop used by child to surf porn
According to engadget, it appears that some kids used the OLPC laptop given by the government to surf porn, it really makes me wonder why did they not come up with the idea of installing some kind of internet filter in the first place?
Anyway, I like the noble idea on given ever child a laptop somehow I think they’ve taken it a little bit further, why can’t they just set up an internet cafe providing free internet access or unlimited computer access to these kids, it would be cheaper in the long run.
