Comments on: Intel, Asustek vs OLPC http://www.p2pnet.net/story/12442 p2pnet.net - reader powered Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:36:32 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Richard Ferdinand http://www.p2pnet.net/story/12442/comment-page-1#comment-139885 Richard Ferdinand Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:30:46 +0000 #comment-139885 The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) programme is a great idea, as it will expose more kids to computers. OLPC will help children in developing countries around the world. But it will also change the world of laptops forever. The marketpace will benefit, and I’m sure that every home in the developed world will have one. What is becoming clear is that the OLPC is a not the solution but a starting point for development. This project needs to be handled in a sensitive way. Different needs and cultures must be addressed properly. Only then will the OLPC project be a success. Right now is an exciting time for technology, particularly mobile technology covering laptops, mobile phones and PDAs. Also the web and they way they all work with the web. I get my laptops and peripherals from Portable Universe and I can thoroughly recommend them. The best thing for people to do is to talk to them, let them know what your needs are (both current and future) and they will come up with the best laptop for you. I also get blank DVDs there for my backup. http://www.portableuniverse.co.uk The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) programme is a great idea, as it will expose more kids to computers.
