When Indian researcher Sugata Mitra embedded a high-speed
computer in a wall separating his firm's New Delhi headquarters from
an adjacent slum, he discovered that slum children quickly taught
themselves how to surf the net, read the news, and download games and
music. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other locations. Each
time the results were similar: within hours, and without instruction,
the children began browsing the Internet.
