I was going to put this is News Picks, until I saw that Slashdot had
an article from MSN on how useless the One Laptop Per Child project
is. Of course, I would expect MSN would say that, and Microsoft has no
trouble finding people in the media willing to express what I think
Microsoft would like said. But please take a look at this video of a
program already in use in Extremadura, Spain, one of the poorest areas
of the country, that will also be included in OLPC, called Squeak.
Watch what the children are able to do, how they can learn even on
their own because of the design of the software. Yes. On their own. I
dare anyone to view it and write such nonsense ever again.
