What is it: An experiment in India putting a PC in a hole in the wall next to an adjacent slum and observing to undertand how the kids interact with the technology.
Why is it cool: Aside from being a creative example of ethnography, it is interesting to note that the kids pick up internet and creative skills very quickly. It also demonstrates how, before the age 16, people are more likely to take it upon themselves to learn and interact with their environment, rather than the learned risk-aversion and reliance on teachers, book learning, etc.
