Saving the world by laptop

The most challenging design works involve big constraints, noble goals and few rewards – and one candidate for design work of the year is the One laptop per child project. It satisfies most of my philosophical gripes about technology and is directed squarely at the digital divide in the third world.

Worldchanging.org has an update and mini-review of the laptop development in progress.

Any fan of Victor Papanek should be in love with this effort.
