	When an entire class, an entire school, an entire community is equipped with computers, much wider opportunities open up.

The starting point is the non-monetary wealth that exists in any community, including cultural riches such as art, music, stories, clothing, and so on, and also crop varieties and wild plants not generally available in the developed world. The OLPC laptop is an adequate basis for teaching sound and video recording. Those who do well with the laptop can be given opportunities to learn more advanced equipment, both to preserve their cultural heritage, and to become employable in the radio, TV, movie, training, and other industries that will grow with the economy.

We do not know in any detail what those business should be. We propose to begin by making an array of options available to the children and their communities, and letting them decide what is most worth doing. We expect to continue from there by listening rather than telling.
