I saw some rumblings this week about what went wrong with OLPC (One Laptop per Child). Having had, depending on your perspective either a front row seat or being in the ring myself – It is a good but unpopular idea that Nicholas Negroponte did several amazing things and oddly doesn’t get enough credit for them. The first is that he ended the discussion of whether computers belong in children’s hands – they do. And the second which will endure is that he also answered the question of whether inexpensive computers can be useful – they are and their numbers are growing. 50 Million units are predicted in the next 12 months just as Nicholas predicted in 2005 (and was roundly laughed at for). His critics saw only speeches but he gave everything he had, everything he could muster – to this effort and he has succeeded in ways that will long endure. Today more than a million children see the world in ways they would never have, and millions more will in coming months thanks to what Nicholas created.
