摘要

In the late 1990s, personal computers were already becoming a mainstream tool, and the year 2000 (after the Y2K software bug) demonstrated how a simple inconvenience could have long-standing business and personal affects. For better or worse, that prediction has come true. However, with that promise came darkness (not Darth Vader-ish, but close). An underworld of clever code, cheeky pranks, and malicious intent shrouded the positive intentions of personal computers everywhere and for everyone. Initiatives like the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) XO project attempted to make the best intentions free to everyone, but hardware and software limitations curtailed these ambitious goals.
