Disposable Computer in the Works
By JamesW on Aug 9, 2008 in Hardware, Software

Need a computer that will match your new outfit? Help is on the way. Researchers are working on a low-tech computer that would cost as little as $12.
You can get these already in India. They look something like the original Nintendo console that many of us played video games on as a kid in the 1980s.
Variations on that original console sell in India for anywhere between $10 and $20 and plug into your TV, complete with game controllers and a computer keyboard. The consoles eventually expanded their game repertoire beyond “Duck Hunt” rip-offs to very basic word processing software.
“Now, would you like a computer to go with your new purse?”
