OLPC

I got to use an OLPC! OLPC or One Laptop Per-Child is a plan to put low cost, low energy using, highly durable laptops in the hands of children all over the world. The OLPC machines are made to be incredibly durable and can use a crank rather than outlet power to run. When they came out the OLPC Foundation let people buy one and give one and they are still very limited but I got to see one that a kid in America had today in Denver! The OLPC is amazing because it shows us what we can do in making an effective low cost ($100) laptop that could be mass produced with the features that most people want if we look to innovative thinking and open source.
