Ohhh, Bermuda Triangle strikes again.
An unmanned catamaran, which was found floating aimlessly at sea still had all computers and GPS systems running, as well as untensils for eating prepared on the table.
The difference between this catamaran and the Mary Celeste ghost ship is that the Kaz II had more technology to track it by. The Kaz II has, for one, a working GPS that was still running. We are more able to track its previous moves. We know where the Kaz II was before hand, so we are a little more knowledgable than the ancient Mary Celeste, which know little to nothing about.
The One Laptop Per Child is an interesting concept. After watching mass amounts of the discovery channel the other night, I've come to learn that a lot of these civilizations know how we live, but simple just choose to not live like the rest of the world. I can't be sure that if it is the case with this particular tribe, but it sure changes things. By this one piece of technology, you have planted an idea of a greater world for these children. Which in one case could be false hopes, but on the other hand may have just given those kids an idea to run with to aspire to. The only problem with these laptops is that they now have access to all this information, which in their culture and civilizations is slightly useless. I mean, really, ancient asian culture isn't going to squat for these kids. Then again, their academic schedual could be drastically different and fitted to suit their needs.
