In my opinion the meaning in the sentence “one laptop per child is a neo-colonial Trojan”, is a disguise that fact that its helping out poor and uneducated societies in the world, by giving them laptops. In reality it might mean that it has a different agenda then just trying to help and educate the poor. The makers and developers behind this phenomena might be making money them selves. Maybe these laptops coast less to make then they sell for, or the pats recycled from donated laptops are used to make money. For example; laptops have expensive metals like gold copper and silver inside them, which can be sold for profit. Also, when these kids have the access to the Internet, they can be influence by different religions’, cultural groups, or western influences of greed and violence, which are portrayed in certain music artists like 50 cent.

However, these laptops can educate and teach individuals on matters how to contribute in developing these poor countries. It can provide them access to communicate with various people around the world to promote business ideas or networking partner ships. Kids in classrooms can save paper and utensils, and prevent them from being illiterate.
