The One Laptop Per Child (otherwise known as OLPC) is a program that is attempting to integrate modern technology in lesser developed countries. They are doing this by creating a laptop that is very inexpensive but also durable and useful at the same time. I am in agreement with everything this program stands for and I support the vision of OLPC. I think that this program is stepping in the right direction for helping poorer countries become better educated and more developed. Also the specs of the computer are withouta doubt ground breaking. The laptop can withstand heavy impacts and harsh conditions, which is what the laptops will most likely be experiencing in the countries that they are sent to. These can be used as an educational tool for the children of the globe. The laptops will teach the children how to become connected to the world around them along with basic educational skills. Overall, I support this laptop and the program. Although it would be nice to see the program attempting to be sustainable also, because this can just teach the world to consume at the same time.
