1.2 Million Libyan Kids With Laptops
Published Friday, October 13, 2006 by Technology Monster | E-mail this post| (via David Weinberger) Libya has become the fourth country to make a sizeable order of the $100 laptop to the tune of $250 million. Interesting vision here: It is possible that Libya will be the first nation in the world to connect all of its children to the Web via computers provided by schools, Negroponte said, according to the Times. Second, I would ask what does it say about our commitment to our children in this country if we are not the first to connect all of its children to the Internet? |
