FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS
THE XO COMPUTER
LOOK WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CLASSROOMS OF AFRICA
Khaled Hassounah, director of Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) program in Africa and the Middle East, has spent the last year touring schools in Nigeria. He and his team chose a school 10 miles outside Nigeria's capital, Abuja, to deploy the company's first child-friendly laptops in the region.
Hassounah shows the students how to boot up their open-source laptops. The bright colors were designed to appeal to children, but the bug-like antennae are mostly practical. Two wireless receptors magnify the laptop's ability to net an Internet connection, which varies in availability throughout the test regions.
