If we give a small poor child a computer that is self standing and operates in modest conditons with a wind up battery, will that child learn? What will that child learn?
Currently in a wealthy setting if the child is not given some direction or knowledge of judgement (not every source is valid) a misperception may be harder to correct than no conception at all.
There exists a program that does just this--gives a small child a computer. The light on the computer may be the only light at night in the house. The keyboard is sand and waterproof, well sealed. The antena conects the computer to the internet. But what is there the child can comprehend? Images? Language? What language? Where is the teacher?
What is education without the teacher?
