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.

My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.

It's hard to propose a $100 laptop for a world community of kids and then not say in the same breath that you're going to depend on the community to make software for it.

The laptop brings back a more seamless kind of learning.

Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water.

I am always asked in my travels through the developing world: 'If this is such a good idea, why isn't America doing it?' ... Well, now they are.
