Tremendous effort by Negroponte, to be sure.
I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to give my children laptops. For some reason, it doesn't seem important to do so. I guess I just don't get it.
Perhaps teaching children to read and giving them access to books is more worthy of effort than giving them laptops. Not as newsworthy or noteworthy though.
Anyway, enough of my quibbling. If more of us had the drive and will to make the world a better place that Negroponte has, surely the world would be a better place.
