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
The laptop brings back a more seamless kind of learning. – Nicholas Negroponte
My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. Its in the education business. – 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
Further Education should be about the ability to learn, not the ability to pay – everyone who is able should have the opportunity, regardless of their family background. I dont want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place. – Charles Kennedy
