IT’S a powerful vision that has now become a reality, even though the $100 laptop now costs almost twice that amount.
Still, this is a very significant milestone. The “Give 1 Get 1” campaign of the One Laptop per Child movement is a great idea for helping empower the world’s children — those who don’t have the money to enjoy the technology that a lucky few have been blessed with and sometimes even take for granted.
Here’s a presentation Nicholas Negroponte gave last year in the TED Talks series to share the vision of the non-profit OLPC project.
Let’s hope more of the digital haves will do their best to help the digital have-nots, until one day, we’ll all enjoy the benefits of ICT.
