Good point.  Parents and neighbors will naturally learn through the exposure 
they get as the children bring their laptops home.  By 2010, if prices have 
fallen to $50 per laptop, the goal of One Laptop Per Person might be 
feasible.  At that price, a quantity of 7 billion laptops would cost $350 
billion, which is a fraction of global, annual military expenses.
