Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.
From Nicholas Negroponte
I'm not good at selling laptops. I'm good at selling ideas.
My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.
One of the arguments here at OLPC is, if 100 million kids could have an Asus running Windows, is that better with two million kids running the XO? And the answer is yes. We want kids connected and the largest possible number is the goal.
Give One, Get One generated about 100,000 zero-dollar laptops. Somebody else paid for them, but from the recipient's point of view, that's zero.
When you meet a head of state, and you say, 'What is your most precious natural resource?' they will not say children at first, and then when you say, 'children,' they will pretty quickly agree with you.
