35$ Tablet

In India they have been trying to invent an inexpensive tablet computer for the impoverished children of the small villages be able to grow and expand their horizons. There are aprox. 220 million children they would like to reach with this program. It is slow going but day by day they get closer to their mark.
These same people have invented a nano car and a $2000 heart surgery. They wanted to develop a  $10 tablet that was solar powered, for the electricity lacking country people. They have made it to a $35 tablet that still needs to be plugged in to an outlet, but they are getting closer to their mark.

I commend these people for making something that is so useful, not for themselves or for the people of Wal-Mart, but for truly needed people.

When I first started reading this article I was afraid that it was just going to be another one of those cheap by the wayside kind of electronic things developed in other countries to make another buck off of the already poorer side of Americans. The people I know are always looking for another way of trying not to look poor. If I buy a cheap knock offs the people I know won't know the difference. If I buy the latest electronic (even if it puts of the electric bill) at least people will think I'm cool.
However this is not the case,in this company they are not developing this tablet for the soul purpose of making a buck. They are actually trying to make the world better for those less able to do so for themselves without the help of this company.
I like hearing that there are still good people in this world not out to make a buck but to better the world around them.
