非牟利的行善,被视为人性的美德;但也就是因为人性,慈善往往容易惹来争议。年前由麻省理工学院Nicholas Negroponte所发起的“每个儿童一台笔记电脑”(One Laptop Per Child)运动,不断闹出风波,虽未至于胎死腹中,但商界企业和各国政府为了各自利害的政治角力,在一轮扰攘后,令人觉得“共襄善举”远不如孩儿的天真纯洁。早在发起之时,Nicholas Negroponte曾为此行动澄清:这是个教育项目,不是笔记本电脑项目(http://laptop.org/zh-CN/vision/index.shtml),但此句话亦同时引起了电脑生产商的生意联想——原来,这亦可以是一个廉价笔记本电脑的项目。主意是好的:简单、功能不用太强的笔记本电脑,倘若用了一个开源免费的Linux操作系统,生产成本可大幅下降到100美元!而条件是要得到各国政府的支持,数以百万计订单以补贴生产成本,最后令每一个生活在穷困国家的儿童,都可用廉价电脑。
Non-profit-making good practices are seen as the virtues of human nature; but also because of human nature, charity is often prone to controversy. The “One Laptop Per Child” campaign launched by MIT Nicholas Negroponte last year plagued the turmoil. Although it was not abortive, business enterprises and governments For the sake of their respective political wrestling, after a round of turmoil, it was felt that the “community and charity” was far more innocent than the babe. As early as initiating, Nicholas Negroponte clarified this action: This is an educational project, not a laptop project (http://laptop.org/en-US/vision/index.shtml), but this sentence also caused The computer manufacturer’s business association - originally, this can also be a cheap laptop project. The idea is good: simple, functional laptops that don’t need too much power, if an open source free Linux operating system is used, the cost of production can be drastically reduced to $100! The condition is to get the support of governments from all over the world, millions of people. Orders to subsidize production costs, and ultimately make every child living in poor countries, can use cheap computers.
