1. Which product interests you the most, and why? (200 words)

The product that interests me the most is the One Laptop Per Child, or $100 laptop. This laptop was designed simply to bring information to children in developing countries. The reason why this product is of such interest to me is because it could be looked at as a life saver. People in underdeveloped countries unfortunately do not have the luxury of being educated like us, or being exposed to information that will keep them safe. The one laptop per child can do so much good for the people, it can educate them on simple things, how to stay clean, how to keep healthy, and much more. The Nestle incident with the mothers giving their children formulated milk mixed with unsanitized water which led to so many infant deaths would never have happened with the simple tool of education. People in undeveloped countries should have access to information just like we do and the $100 laptops will give them that.

2. Which category would interest you to research further for your group project, and why? (100 words)

This category of education would interest me to research further for my group project because it is the most important tool of all. Education is the only way underdeveloped countries are going to me their way out of poverty and make their lives better. They need education in order to survive. Many people in underdeveloped countries die for reason that could have been easily preventable with the right information and with more schools and education in underdeveloped countries, a lot of lives will be saved and so much good can be done.
