XO Laptop delivered in Columbia


I haven't mentioned the OLPC XO laptop for kids in a while. But, it's worth noting that Nicholas Negroponte has delivered XO laptops to Columbian children in an area that was once controlled by guerrillas. In this TED Video he discusses the project, on the road, and why laptops are important for children around the world. This line stood out for me:
"Think of it as inoculating children against ignorance."

To learn why this is an important education project, and not an IT project, visit the OLPC vision statement page.
