What is one laptop for a child (OLPC)?
One baby notebook (OLPC) is a charity organization that focuses on providing educational instruments to the developing world. In 2007, the organization attracted much attention to the press with the commercial production of its XO notebook, which is designed for deployment in developing countries. OLPC hopes that by providing innovative educational technologies, such as laptops, the organization can improve overall educational standards in the developing world. Negroponte hoped to receive international support and financing the project by announcing it to such a public forum and succeeded and gained promises from international companies and help organizations. OLPC has also been supported by the UN, which supports the objective to improve access to educational tools in developing countries.
Wnegroponte, which developed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, developed XO notebook, an innovative low -cost notebook that started deploying schools in the developing world at the end of 2007.H features that are well suitable for organizations that include individual ownership of the child, open source and saturated and saturated and saturated and saturated and saturation and saturation and low agents. XO is extremely robust, with an operating system based on Linux called Sugar, which is designed to support the survey and development of education.
The work of OLPC was allowed to support many innovators in the technological sector who have developed tools that make the XO significant. A small laptop may not be very strong, but lasts water, hard knocking and dust storms. It is also capable of network network with other XOS, which allows children to communicate with each other and worked on projects. Network networks also expands the access to the Internet by the fact that laptops allows each other.
The rise of OLPC has led to several competitors in the field and not all these competitors are non -profitorganization. Some companies create cheap educational notebooks for use in the developed world and claim that OLPC's main objectives can also be expanded to education systems in places such as the United States. We hope that proliferation of affordable technologies could have a big difference in the world of children's authorization.
