Last month I was interviewed by NPR (that R no longer stands for radio<\/a>) about the India’s purported plans for a “$35 laptop” for education.<\/p>\n

I was able to get in a few whacks against the visionless plan. Read my interview here<\/a><\/p>\n

It now appears that “mine’s bigger” has been replaced with “mine’s cheaper.” The Indian announcement, like many of the “responses” to One Laptop per Child, appears to be more about a referendum on Nicholas Negroponte<\/a> than improving the lives of children.<\/p>\n

Like Negroponte or not, the entire high-tech industry swore that low-cost laptops were impossible until a handful of MIT visionaries and their friends proved them wrong.<\/p>\n

The current line of attack seems to be, “Well that jerk wants to change the world with a $100 laptop, we will make it even cheaper.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nicholas Negroponte of One Laptop Per Child posted similar views here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, I recently celebrated my 20th anniversary of working in schools around the world where every child has a personal laptop computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
