All children need a laptop.

Reading

Not a computer, but a human laptop.
Moms, dads, grannies and grandpas, aunts, uncles – someone to hold them, read to them, teach them.
Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations.
Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectation of them, their hopes, and their dreams.
– General Colin L. Powell
