Mad world

It's just dawned on me that the boy I was mentoring today owns an iPad.  He receives free school meals; meaning his family are relatively deprived economically in the UK. The cost of an iPad is the same as it would take to build a school library in Namibian primary school.

Now I like the retina screen, don't get me wrong, but the enjoyment I'd get from knowing that a load of children in Namibia were able to access books for the first time would compensate for the lack of definition on screen.

My pledge this year is to focus on purpose not tech.

Less pixels = more happiness
