One Laptop Per Child

Nicholas Negroponte can still amaze: here is his latest brain-child: a laptop under the $ 100 mark and Egypt is one of the first countries to get it. Big talk?

The laptops are virtually indestructible, foldable in different ways and come with a hand crank for when there is no power supply.
