Negroponte and his team set out to build a $100 laptop so that people and especially children all around the world could be online. Although the project now looks more like it will be $175 per laptop it is still a very viable concept.

Currently we have 6.6 billion people on the planet and 2 billion of them are children. Only the children in the first world countries have computers or laptops. More and more children will have access to the Internet in the future, but right now most children do not. If we are to bring up the entire world we need to start with the children and get them use to using computers.
