Everybody agrees that whatever the solutions are to the big problems, they… can never be without some element of education. – Nicholas Negroponte
If you take any world problem, any issue on the planet, the solution to that problem certainly includes education. In education, the roadblock is the laptop. – Nicholas Negroponte
Weve been working now with computers and education for 30 years, computers in developing countries for 20 years, and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road. – Nicholas Negroponte
My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. Its in the education business. – Nicholas Negroponte
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. – Mark Twain
