Nicholas Negroponte - Update on the One Laptop per Child Project
I’ve recently become a fan of TED Talks which is a repository of “inspired talks by the world’s greatest thinkers and doers.” Today, I found a 16.5 minute talk by Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the MIT Media Lab, in which he discussed the progress of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. The talk took place in December of 2007 (but was just posted in June of this year), two years into the life of the project.
Here is the video of his talk:
A few points of his talk which especially interested me:

My name is Frank Johnson, and I would like to welcome you to DigitalKids.info!
My 14-year-old daughter loves gadgets. Anything digital or technology-oriented is a natural part of her life in the same way baseball was a part of my life growing up.
Whether it’s using her computer, playing video games, surfing the internet, or watching the latest DVD, her world is intertwined with technology in a way that I could never have imagined when I was a child.
