A hundred dollar computer... The idea seems funny at first but then, we get to see how huge its impact is. In fact, Mr Negroponte really did join science to arts and it all ended up giving a "chefd'oeuvre. Giving it a closer look, everything seems to have been thought of in details. The computer appears to present a huge financial benefit, in addition to an educational one.
The computer being created for child use, its design and its content seem to perfectly match with its purpose. In addition to being cheap yet of respectable quality, it is also light, handy, and user friendly. The software and design were all designed to be easily manageable by children; and the content can also be modified so that the child using the computer can adapt the computer to their own learning style. Even the battery can be charged by hand; which makes the computer self sufficient. Just as I brought it up earlier: the computer is a chef d'oeuvre.
From this creation, we can easily see the progress that Negroponte is bringing. With such an innovative invention, he is giving an opportunity to the children of poor countries to have an education and "leapfrog" in some way, from their state of basic life, to a state where they have a starting point linking them to the rest of the world and their technologies. They have a contact with the more developped countries and have an idea about where the world is going and how it is going.
