One Laptop Per Child

Some of you have already seen the anti-christ. It's not a man or woman, but rather a so-called charity called One Laptop Per Child . Here's a slice of the 1LPC's Mission Statement:

"To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning."

TRANSLATION: The laptops are equipped with hardware, software, and internet access provided by large corporations, and like most computes, will require upgrading which means more money spent on top of the base price of two hundred dollars per laptop which I doubt the world's poorest children could afford. These targeted children are nothing more than an artificially created demographic for advertisers to foist their corporate friendly messages and sell their garbage products and services to.

Money = Slavery.

"When children have access to this type of tool they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future."

TRANSLATION: Privatization of the education system! Once the little kiddies are hooked on their new brainwashing toys, they'll yearn for the kinds of modern living that they are bound to be exposed to and decide to move away from their traditional lifestyles and values. Assimilation! Submission! Think of it as a more effective means of controlling the population without resorting to violence. And for the record, the real way to connect people is through community, not technology.
