atw: FW: One Laptop Per Child, Learning Systems '08 Opens (OT)

This is designed for children in Africa – but what are the implications?
Why only third world children?

 

Interesting use of Open Source software.

1. One Laptop Per Child - A Learning Laptop!  The One Laptop Per Child
machine, designed by MIT Media Lab, for children in the third world, arrived
at the MASIE Center as we were winding down our trip to Africa.  

Here is a quick review of the laptop - which is quite impressive.  There is
also a link to a video by the designer.  Here is the URL:
