Description

Computer technology would be quite sophisticated in next 10 years, especially in micro processor field. With the help of nanotechnology and methodology for designing of massive integrated circuit, and since the fully competition in computer components market, the cost of producing mini laptops could be relatively low. And this would be another driven force for $100 laptop per child.
