The digital divide and the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) initiative are the center of this weeks column and illustration. There is a saying "Give a starving man a fish and you've given him food for one day, give him a fishing rod, and you gave him food for the rest of his life." This is the aaproach with the OLPC project and it's latest contracts in places like Libya and other third world countries.
