Creating more computers may not be a "green" undertaking, but enabling the world's poor to have access to modern technology certainly is. MIT has been working for some time on the holy grail of leapfrog technology - the "$100 Laptop" - a laptop computer that can be charged by turning a crank and that can be bought in bulk by governments for less than $100 a piece. The laptops can then be distributed to children by the thousands. It seems that dream is now a reality, and 5 to 15 million test units may be available by the end of the year.
