Imagine a Laptop computer filled with all the educational curriculum from grades K-12.
Now imagine this same laptop filled with information, audio & video lessons, books, textbooks, encyclopedias, documentary films, compressed movies, farming knowledge, sustainable living knowledge, nutrition knowledge, hygiene knowledge, eco-system knowledge, human brain knowledge and so on and so on. And what is not on the laptop people will also be able to search the Internet for more information and knowledge. They will also have access to News, Online Education, TV & Entertainment, Music, Libraries and of course be able to play Video Games as well.

    Each laptop will come with a solar charger so electricity will not be needed. Each laptop will have wireless Internet capabilities, a Webcam, Headphones and an external flash drive to store, share and back up material. The PC will also have an external CD and DVD-RW drive if the PC does not have one built in or if it fails. Each laptop will also have a built in Solid State Drive, which consumes less power, generates less heat, has no moving parts, is more durable and quieter, has faster boot times, no more disk defragging , no more disk crashes and has a longer lifespan then a regular hard drive. The laptop can also be used as a digital book reader with a monitor that has a book reading power saving mode.

    Each laptop will have the ability to change languages, teach languages and translate languages so that most people around the world would be able to use the laptops in almost any language.

    Each Laptop will be customizable, expandable, durable, versatile, recyclable and easily repairable. The PC will also have touch screen tablet PC capabilities so that people can practice hand writing and sketching without having to depend on paper.  Gorilla Glass

    Each laptop would also have video and audio instructions on how to use the laptop incase the person has no computer skills. The PC will also have an easy to use interface.

    Each PC will also have a Virtual Animated Teacher that will guide the student through all the subjects and computer programs if needed. The Teacher Avatar will be an expansion of the Microsoft Office Assistant where students choose the avatar character they like. The Teacher Avatar will encompass all the best qualities and skills that every teacher should possess. If the student prefers a real person to communicate with then they can do so with the built in webcam and internet connection. One such program is already in place and can be accessed today.  Learn to be

    Video lessons about various subjects is a great teaching tool. Imagine a teacher video taping their best teaching methods on a particular subject. Now imagine other teachers watching this video and learning from these techniques, or even better, making a new video discussing how they found new ways to improve these same teaching methods. Video can be compressed to take up less space without sacrificing quality. So now we can make education available to more students and improve teaching methods and strategies at the same time. Using Digital Technology for Education

       Since January 2009 I have started finding information and ideas on how to improve education that would make education more effective and comprehensive. I have also started putting together some educational resources and websites to help accumulate the best knowledge and information that the world has to offer. It still shocks me that most students spend 12 years in school and come away with very little useful knowledge. 100's of millions of students desperately need a higher quality and a more thorough education. Education is not just a humans most important asset, education is the greatest instrument for Health, Happiness and Prosperity. The sheer lack of access to a higher quality and a more thorough education is the cause for most of the problems this world is faced with today. Mostly because people cannot make good decisions or make the right choices without correct sufficient knowledge. We cannot afford to wait for schools to improve and for our teachers to become good quality teachers. We have to use more then one way to fix this problem. We have to use all of our resources and abilities. Providing PC Laptops for people, filled with knowledge, is one way to accomplish this. I love the One Laptop Per Child and the Class Mate PC but I want to take it to the next level. The One Laptop Per Child PC is great for children of ages from 3 to 6 years old. The Classmate PC is great for children ages of 6 to 10 years old. Both of these PC's have great qualities and have opened the door to some really great ideas on how a Laptop PC can help improve a child's educational experience. But I want to make sure that we have the next generation of Learning Laptop PC's ready. Laptops that are faster with more memory and capabilities so that the students hunger for knowledge and learning are not hampered in anyway. (Educause intelligent use of information technology)

     Once I have a Laptop that is a clear example of what this PC should have and how this PC should operate, I will then look for investors and volunteers to help distribute the Laptops to all who need them. Starting with the less fortunate people who have limited means or have limited access to good schools, which happens to be almost every human on the planet. Sponsoring a child just took on a new definition. And if each person who receives the PC promises to share it with others we can help educate more people even faster.

    Each person who receives this PC must also fully understand the responsibilities that come with having an extremely important and powerful tool. So I'm working on a pledge to help with understanding some of these responsibilities. But of course it will take more then a pledge or a promise for children to do the right thing because some children are already incorrectly educated and lack the abilities to learn or have no willingness to learn and possess very little self-discipline. So children who are eager to learn and who possess self-discipline will be the most favorable candidates for these laptops.

    Every Company, Government, Community and Person must have a cause that they are dedicated to. I see no other cause more important then education, and not the education that we have in our schools today, I'm talking about a more comprehensive education that gives every human the life skills and knowledge that is needed to live and be a positive influence. Health, Happiness and Prosperity is not a dream, it is a goal, and the main goal of a quality and thorough education.

       The laptops will be expensive, but if we don't educate humans properly and effectively it will end up costing the world much more then money could ever buy. So this is totally worth the investment. Every Human has questions that need to be answered, and every answer needs to be explained in more then one way so that everyone can understand.

    Improving education is now my passion in life and my most important goal. There is nothing more important to this world then education. My whole life I have been searching. I have always been asking questions. Throughout my life I have met all kinds people and I have traveled to many distant places. I went through many changes and experienced many moments of despair. I have made many mistakes and I have made many bad decisions. I have flirted with death so I am extremely fortunate, lucky and thankful to have lived this long. I have worked 100's of different jobs but felt no real purpose. But it all changed in 2007 when I disconnected my TV. I started to educate myself. I finally became aware. I realized how little I new of myself and how little I new about this world. This was my epiphany. It all made sense. Everything in life is in someway connected to education. All my experiences now have meaning and purpose. And if it were not for the internet, and all who contributed to its vast resources of knowledge, I would have not been able to acquire the necessary knowledge and information that has enlightened me and inspired me to pursue this project. And of course the invention of the computer was the main vehicle that helped this realization happen. Making the internet and the computer the main catalysts that helped to spawn this epiphany. So it only makes sense that the PC and the internet will be major components of this project. This will be my life's work. I don't believe in retirement, I only believe in redefining purpose. You cannot deny destiny, you can only embrace it.
