Alan Kay and the $100 Laptop
$100 Laptop
The $100 laptop is an education project for creating an inexpensive laptop computer intended to provide every child in the world access to knowledge and modern forms of education.
The computers will be rugged and Linux-based. Ad-hoc wireless mesh networking may be used to allow many machines Internet access from one connection. The pricing goal is currently expected to start at around US$135–140 not hitting the US$100 mark until 2008, if then. The laptops will be sold to governments and issued to children by schools on a basis of one laptop per child.
