Maybe i am a bit of a prude then lol.
Here is one article on this they were going to set the laptop up with filters but i wonder how well that will work.
News | Africa - Reuters.com
I think every kid that is of school age will get a laptop from 6-16.

I don't support this as i like i said i cannot support giving children their own laptop so young. My sisters daughter already spends to long on the internet doing myspace etc and i don't really like it. Very rarely does she do any homework using the internet. She does have other means to study though and some of these children may not so i know that is different.

I know that you cannot hold back technology. In normal circumstances you shouldn't really a need a computer of your own until you start college that would be more ideal but i know that these circumstances are different.

I do like as well that children in say for Nigeria for example do other things with their time instead of just sitting in front of a computer all day like couch potatoes.
