One thing is sure. Watching pornography was not a aim when the computer companies wanted to create this laptop. This project wanted to give to kids the possibility to know the world through this technology. But in the end, the kids got caught up looking on the internet with porn.

A reporter at the official News Agency of Nigeria discovered pornographic images on the donated laptops from a U.S. aid organization, reports Reuters. It is unclear whether or not school children were actually caught in the act of browsing such websites.

"Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials," reported the News Agency of Nigeria.

It’s interesting how kids preferred to watch the porn instead discovering something real interesting. I think that the project team was a little disappoint in that.
