Can we Rethink?

What is a computer?

Is it the monitor? the keyboard? the mouse? the CPU cabinet? the motherboard? nopes.. isnt it a microchip that can comfortably sit on the palm of your hand? (pentium inside!!)

Rest of the devices are just ways that the microchip uses to communicate with our senses , remember things and sustain itself.

Can we fundamentally rethink technology for Rural areas, keeping in mind the constraints.. erratic electricity, poor connectivity, non-availability of spares ..

I dont have too much creativity .. I cant imagine how the re-think-ed computer will look like .. but i have a strong instinct.. I know how it will NOT look like .. the computer you see in front of yourself ..
