Green Machine Article:
Low-cost laptops to help improve education for world’s poor.Can you imagine a day when every student has a laptop computer? Nicholas Negroponte can. He hopes to make that happen with the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program. The nonprofit organization he founded aims to provide laptops to elementary students in poor countries. If everything goes according to plan, by 2007 up to 7 million children in Thailand, Nigeria, Brazil, and Argentina will have their own laptops. After that, the organization hopes to bring the program to China, Egypt, and Mexico.
The program is starting small. Beginning October and into November [2006], 500 children in Thailand will receive computers. Thailand’s Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra recently promised that every elementary student in his country will receive a free computer "instead of books." Textbooks can be expensive, but the new laptops might cut those costs. The computers are designed to connect to the Internet. "Books will be found and can be read on computers," Thaksin says.
Nicknamed "the green machine," each computer will initially cost about $140, but OLPC’s goal is to reduce the cost to $100. The machine was designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Laboratory to meet the needs of developing countries. For instance, the
laptops run on electricity produced by hand cranks. That is important because some people in poor areas lack electric power.
The laptops don’t appeal to developing nations only, however. A number of U.S. educators are also interested in the machines. They see the laptops as useful tools for children whose families can’t afford computers.
