The $100 laptop getting closer to becoming a reality
Wow, wouldn’t that be great, a $100 laptop. Laptops would soon be affordable especially for children, no adults this is not for you. Nicholas Negroponte, the co-founder of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is developing a $100 windup-powered laptop targeted for children’s in developing nations.
As published in a recent article –
“Negroponte, who laid out his original proposal at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, said MIT and his nonprofit group, called One Laptop Per Child, is in discussions with five countries--Brazil, China, Thailand, Egypt and South Africa--to distribute up to 15 million test systems to children.”
“In addition, Massachusetts is working with MIT on a plan to distribute the laptops to schoolchildren, Negroponte said.”
Great way of providing an affordable means of learning technology to children’s in poor countries.
