THE XO LAPTOP.


Can a laptop change the world? This is genius. A laptop can now be purchased for the price of USD 100.  The creative organization behind this, the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child: http://laptop.org/en/index.shtml), claims that this is not a laptop project but rather and education project.  They believe that children do not lack the capability, only the opportunity and resources. The XO is the key. WOW.

It's okay to be wrong.
