say what you will about these orphans born in this war torn hell hole, at least they dont have to suffer the frankly appalling windows 10 operating system. thats because their computers are so old they can't run anything past windows XP, which is in my opinion the best one

there are children in africa right now that don't even realize the Apple Watch is coming out soon, let alone have the means to purchase one. let's all throw in a few :tenbux: and gift one to an african village.

re: the haters itt: i know you think you're being cool with the detached sarcasm and stuff, i was once the same. but let me tell you one thing i learned in my years with CFS: you haven't truly lived life until you've seen the villagers' eyes light up with glee upon experiencing funy computer for the first time

the reason all these people are always whining about hunger, rape/abduction, genocides atc is, for the most part, to blame on their lack of internet culture. once you become familiar with the intricacies of "which is the best phone operating system" or "what video game console should i get?" you pay no mind to such earthly minor annoyances

even very poor villages have benefited from access to cheap networked computers, but unfortunately those computers are cellphones and don't have many ads at all
