Cheap devices that educate children from 1st grade through college. | |
Cheap iPhone like devices that link to a virtual school system
that makes educating a third world child through college cost
about fifty bucks.
Hand these out or drop them over countries that are not
doing so great in their evolution towards civilization.

Not a bad idea, as long as there is network coverage
(and some means of making it free) in the area. I
also suggest that the curriculum (and the inevitable
cultural messages that will be snuck in) be based on
the English education system. |
|
| |
So, a curriculum centred round bullying, foul language, smoking, cheap alcohol and teenage pregnancy ? |
|
| |
// bullying, foul language,... //
I think [MB] means the British education system, not the
American one. |
|
| |
" drop them over countries that are not doing so great " |
|
| |
So, instead of other:general this should be in product:weapon:missile |
|
| |
Wouldn't solve the current mass migration issue but may one
day make the residents of Shitholeistan less likely to leave. |

[Ian], you're a genius! Why did nobody think of this
before? Huge things, but small enough to slip into a
pocket for easy, go-anywhere fun! OK, so partially
baked in the pocket battleship, but still a brilliant
idea. |
|
| |
To be fair, Raeder did have notably large pockets. That's the advantage of being an Admiral and having all your uniforms made to measure. |

I think targeting Texas requires filing a flight plan
with the FAA first. |
|

Places "that are not doing so great", does the Southern US count? Y'all need less Jesus |

Cluster Bomb of Education? |
|
| |
Devices don't educate. People do. Nicholas Negroponte fell into the same trap. |
|
| |
Did it have great big sharp spikes at the bottom ? |
|
| |
If it was one of those, you'd know, 'cause you would have
bid on the contract. |
|
| |
Your bid would have been rejected as "overkill", but you
would have remembered the bid. |
|
| |
Well can't hurt to be able to access instructional video from
an OLPC. |
|
| |
The number of capable teachers is always in short supply, so
good educational content via a laptop is always a good
supplement in areas where access to education is poor. |

// What is the identified problem // |
|
| |
Humans in other geographical locations that fail to subscribe to the consensus world view of the Westernized populist "democracies", and thus being knowingly and willfully bad and wrong. |
