===Ideas===
This is the beginning of the Bookstore / Computer Store / Robotics' Store & Hospital Technologies' Distribution Centers (New & Used) at World University and School.
The online World University and School bookstore is planning to be in the 6 United Nations' languages plus Portuguese, a lingua franca for a significant part of Africa, for the I.B. and bachelor degrees, to start, and perhaps eventually on the ground, as bookstore/computer store / informal student center / and possibly also as wired classroom for 40 people, in a nice neighborhood, perhaps near a Quaker Meeting, and in a major city (with a culture of learning?) of that language: Arabic -Tehran/Riyadh/Dubai? Chinese (Mandarin) - Beijing, English - London/Cambridge, French-Paris, Russian-Moscow/St. Petersburg, Spanish-Madrid?
The online WUaS bookstore / computer store will carry textbooks, books and other resources for MIT OCW and Yale OYC courses with video, as well as eventually computers.
