A woman uses a $100 hand-cranked laptop computer in the exhibition area of the second United Nation's World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) at the Kram Palexo in Tunis November 17, 2005. About the size of a textbook, the lime-green machines can set up their own wireless networks and operate in areas without a reliable electricity supply. The goal is to provide the machines free of charge to children in poor countries who cannot afford computers of their own, said Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab chairman Nicholas Negroponte.
