Optimism and confidence with a dash of realism

The OLPCNEWS wiki has proven to be a great resource in prepping for this trip . If you haven't been following the link I posted in the Update post a week ago then you, my friend, need to catch up. This article is especially interesting as it details the obvious challenges that exist within the one laptop, one student program. It highlights what the author calls "The Miracle Transformation Fallacy"



In a nutshell: OLPC hasn't saved the world yet.
