One Laptop Per Child - First Deployment of Computers
I work in a rural town with no broadband internet. The only choices the families have for internet at home is dial-up and satellite (which is crazy expensive).
These photos of the first students to receive their laptops through the One Laptop Per Child program are inspirational, to say the least.
You know, I’ve heard many say Why in Nigeria but not in the U.S.? or Why laptops rather than food/medicine/infrastructure? Valid questions, but you just can’t deny the powerful messages these photos impart. I wish I had been in this room at this moment.
more importantly, why is that guy wearing black? i hope those laptops will provide the children with some information about how temperature, light, color and proximity to the equator make it a bad outfit to wear in nigeria.
