Also ab interesting episode on the OLPC -
OLPC XO-1: The price of free
The idea was big, exciting, and inspiring: What if we could get every kid in the world access to a computer? For a bunch of thinkers and executives in Silicon Valley, it felt like the way to fix…

Happy Tuesday!!!

I just watched @theverge.com's Version History episode on the OLPC XO-1, and it really got me missing my old Acer Aspire One.

Do you have an old laptop you remember fondly?

In a world shifting to smartphones, the OLPC XO dared to dream: every child owning a computer. It taught us that innovation must adapt or risk being left behind. Keep pushing the boundaries. https://www.keepgoingpod.com/p/the-olpc-xo-was-the-little-green #keepgoing

Unfortunately they didn't really succeed to do what they set out to, IIRC, but the OLPC laptops were definitely striking

extremely torn between "wanting to daily drive my OLPC XO-4" and "not wanting to risk any damage to a relatively rare machine where the availability of spare parts is effectively non-existent"

I am old enough to remember the OLPC project. Fools,we were fools.
“The old digital divide used to be wanting to make sure everyone had access to tech. But the new digital divide is, who are the families who have the privilege to protect their children *from* tech? … this very much is an equity issue.” www.coyotemedia.org/sfusd-ai-ami...

Found an old OLPC XO-1 in a storage box of mine. It works, to the degree that it ever did. Any collectors out here who’d want it? (Shipping only within Europe to prevent logistical headaches…)

In 2005 MIT promised a $100 laptop for every poor child. A few million got built, at nearly double the price. In Uruguay, the success story, over a quarter ended up broken.

Microsoft killed the open PC

For sure the campaign of One Laptop Per Child had many flaws, but M$ management made sure they don't take any chances.

The "OLPC" program was a shameful debacle of ham-fisted white savior idiocy, full of racially infantilizing assumptions that rightfully generated resentment, and didn't consult AT ALL with the *actual people* they were allegedly trying to help.
