Nicholas Negroponte, founder of One Laptop per Child, reponded in the comment section of a post in which Alanna suggested that the "dream of one laptop per child is over." Here is Negroponte's comment in full. (NB: Negroponte says this is a "UN site." It is not.)
The dream is not over. When OLPC started there were no low cost laptops. We created the category less than four years ago and it now represents almost one third of the world production of latops. I am not aware of too many technologies that have gone from “impossible” to such wide adoption. |
