One Laptop per Child

After watching the video today in class, the "one laptop per child" idea seems like a great one. The technology that has reached African countries so far seems to be making a huge impact on businesses and jobs, but the video mentioned how many remote places have no access (many don't even have phones) and so the olpc seems like a great idea. With bringing more technology to a greater population, the spread of knowledge can stimulate the countries to grow and become more connected with the globalization, as one man mentioned in the movie. Also, with bringing these new laptops, you need to create a new workforce that can teach these kids how to use the computers. This can bring in more money to the countries and therefore stimulate them even more towards achieving globalization. But one question that I had was if these students have access, are they really more likely to go out and explore the world and take full advantage of what they are being given? It is hard to travel and see the world outside of a village or small town without the means to pay for such a journey. The internet would bring these children closer to this, but they might still not be able to actually do anything with this knowledge. How would this question be answered when the olpc comes to the remote places in Africa?
