Abstract
There are more than a billion children out there who possess raw talent that is completely untapped through lack of resources and opportunity. Africa and South America, it can be argued are the poorest continents in the world with people struggling to attain life's basic necessities. Would it be possible that these children in such dire straits could be given the opportunity to enter the global stage of technology and the information age as we know it in developed countries. The answer, as it would appear, is no. Primarily because technology is an expensive commodity in the world today, and some people may say the rarest of all in undeveloped countries.
Many believe that surely a child in Brazil or Egypt or South Africa could have the aptitude and brilliance in computers and programming as Bill Gates or Larry Page had. Surely out of more than a staggering billion of young minds in undeveloped nations, at least 1% of them would be able to engineer a computer or develop software if they had the opportunity, and did you know that even 1% would amount to 10 million children that could be great.
