One laptop per child
,----[ Quote ]
| The XO is now being sold for $150, which is expected to drop soon to
| $100, but I was still thinking that it sounded a bit pricey for the
| developing world. I saw a comment online to the effect that that
| isn't much at all, when you consider that you're not going to have
| to print expensive text books for its young owners.
|
| Instead, the materials the children need can be cheaply loaded
| onto their laptops and written work can be transmitted to the
| teacher for marking, without the need for any paper. Makes sense
| to me.
