Danny, It depends upon the politics of the country. As a farmer, and one who follows this kind of thing fairly closely, it is clear to me that there is currently enough food to go around although there is going to come a time where we simply can not support the world population which is increasing a billion people, primarily in the developing world, just over each decade.
Sadly, food withholding was used to control and kill millions of people in the past and it is still being used as a weapon in some parts of the world. Libya may be the first country to put this many computers in the hands of each child but they don't actually have that many kids, just over a million and should have plenty to eat considering the oil revenues and changes in the politics of that country in recent time. It is going to be interesting to see the long term effects of allowing this kind of technology to the masses in a developing country. My guess is that it will cause changes, some unintended, because children easily accept their environment as "normal." Look at the kids of today in developing countries that live as if we have always had current technology of cell phones, ipods, notebooks, internet, HDTV, etc:) Rick W.
