An amazing article by Alice Rawsthorn on how designers are changing the world for the better. From a $100 laptop for schoolchildren in developing countries, to a pot for carrying water that can be easily rolled, designers are focusing their talents on the world’s poor, in an effort to positively impact the lives of the world’s unwealthiest 90%.

More information and specs on the $100 laptop.

It’s a refrigerator and a stove! This is cute. http://noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com/
