4 million Laptops ordered
DesktopLinux reports that four countries (Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, and Thailand) have comminted themselves to buy 1 million Laptops of the “One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)” project.
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit association dedicated to the research and development of a $100 laptop—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world’s children. This initiative was first announced by Nicholas Negroponte at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland in January 2005. Our goal: to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves.
I’m excited that this project seems to take the next level.
