The Hole In The Wall
[SUMMARY—Illustrating and enabling the innate curiousity of all kids.]

The result:
… he discovered that slum children quickly taught themselves how to surf the net, read the news, and download games and music. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other locations. Each time the results were similar: within hours, and without instruction, the children began browsing the Internet.
