This morning on CNN, Nicholas Negroponte was a guest demonstrating the One Laptop Per Child laptop. During the demonstration, the anchor asked Nicholas about how the kids in Rwanda have embraced the laptop during the test. He noted that the laptop has been very well received, it can network with other laptops in the area, each one can hold 100 ebooks and they can share them creating a never-ending supply of books.
The anchor then asked about Internet access and Nicholas replied by saying that this allows kids to access almost anything. He then concluded with noting the following: "Many of the young kids in Rwanda using the laptop - their first word is Google."
Wow.
(I am trying to find this video, unfortunately I was not able to capture it from the hotel.)
