Ethiopian Kids Hack PC

Ethiopian village kids hack PCs with zero instruction. 

How amazing that Ethiopian children were given free Android tablets that were wrapped up and left in a box. The donors wanted to try this experiment to see what the children would do. They expected that as children, they would want to play with the box but instead they turned it on and found the solar chargers for providing power. They started learning English and then taught their family, after several months. The experimenters are amazed that they hacked into the Android with a literacy rate close to zero. They even figured out how to use the camera and the game/ learning software on the tablet. To read more on the article see here.
