There’s so much research going into artificial intelligence. But the real challenge is to reproduce human stupidity via technology. It’s really difficult to get a computer to act as dumb as humans can, but NASA is working on it. No, not that NASA, it's the National Artificial Stupidity Association. The challenge is to not only duplicate the human inability to logically solve problems, but also to generate inane excuses, present disorganized guesses, and argue to defend its wrong answers.

Artificial intelligence is no match for human stupidity. ~anon
Face it, it can't be done.
I've still never seen one of those $100 computers that were supposed to take over the world a few years ago.
The last time I checked it's about 350 for the two.
This on the other hand will blow up in price if, and that's a big if, it comes to the states.
Sad.
It may go the way of the Indian Tata as far as the price going out of reach of those who really need it after the safety commission and good old american import/export taxation.
Just like the OLPC fiasco - first it was $50/ea then when the prototype was released it was $99/each and then reality set in and it's a $250 piece-o-crap that nobody wants and can easily be replaced by numerous Netbooks off the shelf at Walmart for less money.
Besides - there are more studies showing that technology interferes with learning then there are that shows it helps.
