I understand your point and share it. Still, I believe you have no idea about what happens in Argentina's educational system. I share what a teacher explains about her experience in Argentina's schools. It's in spanish, but I believe that twitter has a translate function.

Yes, I agree, there are many advantages. Still I saw various high school level children who were able to get a torrent and launch GTA San Andreas in their computers, but at the same time they were unable to read in a fluent way and of comprehending texts.
I mean, autonomous children, and children with certain interests can learn a lot just by having a computers, while others won't learn much. But still, the exposure to a computer is helfpul for all of them.
I was too extreme in what I expressed. Both having computers and good education are positives.
I'm also from Argentina, and about 6 years ago I worked in a public school.
I think giving computers to children is good only if the quality of education they receive is good. I saw many children using their government-given computers to play GTA san andreas and Counter Strike while they were in the middle of a class, and the teachers didn't do anything about it because the government forbids them to take reasonable disciplinary measures (A teacher wants a child to pay attention during a class? Good luck, there's not much he/she can do) and also the goverments forces the teachers to make everyone pass every exam because "it is stigmatizing" for the children to get a bad mark on a test.
What I comment sounds absurd, but I have no reason to lie about it.
So, even if I consider it can be benefical to give computers to students in some conditions, in Argentina it's not well implemented.
I read similar critics in other sites but right now I don't remember exactly where as to share the links. The arguments were similar. The article is balanced and well thought. You could search for other sites in the web, but I'd suggest you not to discard this one only for the headlines of other articles.
Why? If a worker loses his job, he also has to sell his labor-power on the market.
But if the investor diversified well his investments, he's likely to have lower risk than an average worker.
Ownership requires management and the steps which were required to achieve that ownership. Somebody maybe had to work hard to own, while others inherited.
