Re: [ilugd] Let them have laptops
[talking about what kids do with laptops] Watch and share p0rn? I think it is right Linux Lingam [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: incidentally, a few years ago i was in khajuraho, and was amazed to see children from nearby villages saving precious rupees so they could pay rs 15 or whatever it was, to surf the web from a cybercafe in the town. i peered over their shoulders for the five or six days i stayed there, and noticed these children (and even adults) would surf for anything but poPcORN. very interesting. leads me to conduct a thought-experiment: if we erected khajuraho temples in every town and city of the world, the current huge load of internet traffic and clogging for such material would just disappear. even more importantly, it would be fascinating to study what the vast majority of people would love to surf for, in their spare time. I'm sure Niyam knows it, since he saw the place with his own naked, steaming eyes, so this is just a didactic note for the rest of you: The stuff Khajuraho has a reputation for is completely overblown. It's only the tourism industry that pushes it, making it seem like a total sleazepit. Sure, you can find it if you search for it. But Khajuraho is really quite a pretty town, much more decent than Delhi, inexpensive, with amazingly pretty, well-maintained temples which a prude can visit without being embarrassed. Broadband cybercafes everywhere too. Not a bad place for a Delhi coder to migrate to in winter months for some heavy hacking. Maybe we should have a fosscamp there sometime?
