With the expectation of more than 600 million computers, fully functional, abandoned in the next five years, organizations and committees are being established to transfer these 'waste' of most industrialized countries to the new generations of the countries in the developing world. Digital Partnership is one of these groups and some large companies such as Cisco, Shell, Nestle and Turner Broadcasting. The Digital Partnership hopes to transfer 170,000 machines to the 4,000 state schools in South Africa, while they are already trained on the territory of some experts in the maintenance and repair of machines donated, while other courses have been set up for teachers. The Microsoft granted free licenses of Windows XP and Office XP. An approach that attempts to crystallize standard decided by Western multinationals, penning the software in the meshes of proprietary licenses, instead of providing a perspective that forbid the development and adaptability, as happened in Peru and India. For its part, the South African government has taken advantage of the funding to pass a law that ensures low prices for access to the Internet in schools, and encouraged the establishment of portals useful for the sharing of updated textbooks and various educational materials.
