TENSES - A DIAGNOSIS
Negroponte has been working on the OLPC since he saw how children can learn from a computer two years ago in Cambodia.
He was travelling cross the country when his car broke
down
He had been crisscrossing the country in search of a place where to buy a house for a week
He never would never have stumbled across the idea if the car hadn't left the road
Negroponte is man who likes the contact with the locals, so he befriended the hotel owner and let his 6-year-old son play with his computer
He is always looking for new ideas and opening
If the OLPC gets off to a good start, he will spread the idea to other countries like eastern Europe
Seeing the enthusiasm all around him, he said " it's going to work
By the end of the year, his organization will have distributed 15 million devices
The laptops have been tested in several institutes of technology for over two years.
I wish this innovation could revolutionize learning, but there is a lot of resistance to overcome
