thers ask why the laptops cost more than $100 (They sell for $188 plus shipping). And several companies including. What do you think of Negroponte’s idea to put a laptop — with a long battery high-resolution screen and open-source software — in the hands of every poor child on the planet? And why don’t you think the project has taken off? Steve Stecklow and Nicholas Negroponte will be here to answer your questions in the second hour… And when I hear people complain that students shouldn’t have an LPC laptop because they don’t have say shoes (which is often true enough) it’s clear that they don’t get the point of this project. Education exposure to the wider world or even experience using a keyboard that would allow one to work in an office one day — these are all ways to solve that problem of no shoes. It seems to me that what the naysayers are really saying is either “How can this computer be any good — it doesn’t run PowerPoint” or “This is a useless extravagance. ” They are wrong on both counts. Ask any child who receives this laptop and she’ll tell you the same thing.

This is the same way kids have played – and learned – since they were given things more complex than wooden blocks to mess with.
