I think anyone who tries to sell this as a panacea to cure all the world's woes is either being wildly optimistic or has a vested interest. Still, I could see the program being highly valuable. Education provides the means to betterment, and effective education begins with effective tools. If a family is struggling to eat, giving them a laptop will not solve their problems. If a child needs an education to provide a better life for him and his, this could be the means.
I unfortunately cannot spare $400 for the program (and am not certain that they're available in Canada at any rate). If I had the disposable cash though, yeah I'd do it.
