Cyber schools for developing countries realistic?

Asked by lilikoi (10105points) May 14th, 2010

The internet could bring highly qualified teachers to developing communities that need them without anyone having to get on a plane (i.e. affordably [sp?]). There would be no shortage of “old” computers that could be donated and shipped around the world as needed.

Given spotty availability of electricity and lack of high-speed internet infrastructure, however, plus no infrastructure to properly dispose of e-waste from computers, how can one make this happen?
