as long as one cannot eat knowledge you're always only talking to a fraction of mankind. same with medicin, fresh water, cloths, housing, energy, transportation, reading, writing and on and on. i think that there's only minor interest in knowledge if you are hungry, cold or being robbed for your OLPC. so first things first. for example, in my spare time i repair old computers and give them to poor kids because i believe passionately in the neccessity for kids to learn things about/with computers. then i pray that their parents will not sell the damn thing to buy food or pay debts but it happens all the time - 70%. then they tell me it was stolen or sth, because they are ashamed. nevertheless i continue my path. there is no boom-bang-revolution-thingie, only millions of small boring exhausting steps towards changing sth at all.
