Americans do-gooders like Nicholas Negroponte, with his $100 laptop, have identified the right problem: Africa is way behind technologically and rapid leap-frogging is possible. But Chinese and Indian scientists argue that Africa can benefit from a changing of the technological guard.
美国的一些不切实际的慈善家像内格罗蓬特，怀揣着价值100美元的笔记本电脑，指出了真正的问题所在：非洲在技术上远远落后，从而使飞速的跳跃式前进成为可能。但是中国和印度的科学家争辩说非洲可以从技术保安的换岗中受益。他们也许是对的。
