Missing information: Unknown Photographer, Unknown Location, Unknown Source.

The location is Southern Russia, because my grandmother had same wear, but now you can meet this wear in village too.
Why southern? The sand under feets tells us that this is about the sea.
sorry for my english.
Ps. i did my blog design like you! Always read your posts! The best!
I heard a year or two ago that there was a guy who was trying to create a simple laptop meant to go to third world contries which only cost $100 to make. I wonder whatever happened to that guy.
Nothings happened to that guy, he lives in California and his laptop costs $50

Oh that lady on the far left? looks likes me in a few years (well, lot of years)... :)
I will have my own laptop though!
beautiful collection of pictures you've got Ilker...
nice pictures u've got there. pcitures not only worth a thousand words but pictures that wake up just anybody by looking @ it. we should be grateful with our life now. too grateful indeed. we're just too pampered with money & stuffs around. too much of complaints... life is a NO regrets, but a Learning Journey :)
All classics, but these pics remain burned in our collective memory.
I think what Robert meant was Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. And actually the project was completed and now they've started selling those computers (at around 150$ I think) to Third World Countries. The computers are pretty nice and don't use Windows as its Operating System which I find great. Actually I believe they are either selling them to governments or making some sort of agreement with them so they can give them to kids in poor schools. I know that if you buy one in the States you get 2, one goes to you and the other one to a poor kid in a Third World Country. Anyway, I thought that maybe that's what Robert meant.
