One Laptop per Child (and one for you)
Posted by Adam Arvidsson under Co-creation , Ethical Economy , Ethics , Social CapitalThe ultra-cool XO laptop from the ‘One Laptop per Child’ project will be commercially available from Nobvember 12th. It works like this, you buy two laptops, one is donated to a child and the other is shipped to you. Price about $ 380 for both of them. Given the ridiculously cheap dollar this is a really good deal (apart form being ethically sound). The thing is a design marvel, with ultrasensitive wifi antenna (detecting a network where you ordinary pc is blind) and a screen that’s perfect for reading e-books in the sun.
