[LM_NET] $100 Laptop for every child in the world.....

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

Can a $100 Laptop Change the World?
Nicholas Negroponte thinks so. He wants kids all over the world to use his 
computer to jump-start learning.
The green and white gizmo is not much bigger than a clutch purse, but when 
you extend its plastic bunny-ear antennas and flip it open, clamshell style, 
the screen is colorful and welcoming, ready to network or create. It's even 
got a video camera and social networking software? It's the $100 (or so) 
laptop and its proud parent, the founder of the nonprofit One Laptop per 
Child, Nicholas Negroponte, believes it is within his sights to equip 
millions of developing-world children with these gadgets, paid for by 
governments and grants.
