I am not sure I understood what he had to say about OLPC or perhaps I just don't remember it clearly.

Cause the Children are growing older without a much better education system that they deserve. And I am thinking the problem is not only in poor countries, although their problem obvisously is the biggest, I think that all Children in all countries are waiting for the school system to be made better. And that I think is using computers and the Internet in a clever way.</DIV> <DIV><BR> <DIV class=EC_gmail_quote>On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 6:27 AM, Sameer Verma <SPAN dir=ltr><<A>sverma@sfsu.edu</A>></SPAN> wrote:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE class=EC_gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex">Just saw Sugata Mitra's talk at Lift (<A>http://liftconference.com/</A>) on<BR>the hole-in-the-wall experiment and the data they collected.
