BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Teach-yourself computing for kids

BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Teach-yourself computing for kids: "'Groups of children given adequate digital resources can meet the objectives of primary education on their own - most of the objectives.'"

Of course!!! The nature of software, knowledge distributed over internet and the power of computers is very different from traditional "commodities" in many essential aspects, it just dont fit into the copyright/patent-system or the traditional education. Of course this is great news for the poor, and from now on a lot of traditionalists (included a lot of proprietary software defenders) have a hard job to survive befor everybody know this. That should not take to long time with internet.
