It would be amazing to see a generation grow up understanding that computers are open tools that they can control themselves rather than closed black boxes. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/intel">intel</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/microsoft">microsoft</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/olpc">olpc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/open-source">open-source</a></p>

It’s really exciting to see the project starting to make an impact. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/olpc">olpc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/peru">peru</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/xo">xo</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.xogiving.org/">OLPC: Give 1 Get 1</a></strong></p> The long rumoured “buy two OLPCs, donate one to the third world” scheme is actually happening. I plan to get one; the robustness, battery life and WiFi range should make for an excellent conference / outdoor machine. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/charity">charity</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/conferences">conferences</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/hardware">hardware</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/olpc">olpc</a></p>
