Computers on Wheels project

Computers on Wheels project of Stockholm Challenge. From the project website "In the era of globalization, where impersonalisation in trade and commerce has become a norm and where recognizing the voice or face of a client or a service provider had become a rare incident, COW offers unique possibility of human intervention that is culturally sensitive for knowledge enhancement in remote rural areas. It combats the adverse effects of globalization by providing adequate access to information, so that rural communities do not become isolated from the global economic and political world and makes it possible for them to possess the freedom to choose their own destiny."
I first came across this porject here, and started thinking about possibilities beyond what the project's current focus is. I am sure the project will help fuel the imagination of Indian rural folks to come up with other uses, including Mobile Mechanic that can diagnose vehicle problems (trucks, cars and motor bikes gone bad on the road in remote villages).
