New laptop design that could change the world is almost here. Nicholas Negroponte: “The idea is simple. It’s an education project, not a laptop project. If we can make education better—particularly primary and secondary schools—it will be a better world…We want to have a machine that’s so distinctive it’d be like stealing a post office truck. The lab is even thinking of having each child’s name engraved on each laptop as an additional theft deterrent.” Don’t miss the WorldChanging and Wikipedia articles.
