Today in class we had a presentation from Lauren Rudzinski about one laptop per child, which talks about how this guy Nicholas Negroponte and how he feels every child should get there own laptops, she talked about how he traveled around the world to see how kids response to laptops and she also made the point how his goal is unrealistic. He also believes that children learn how to use the laptop quickly..but shes not sure thats nagent. She also mention how to make his plan come true which is either buy it or donate it for them. He wanted to make unespensive laptops for poor children under  $200. dollars, This started in a countrie that had no electricity, and gave them laptops and found out that he likes what he sees , you cant put dirt, water sand anything in it, you can draw on it and also use it ouside because of the sun screen. But the whole problem is Nicholas believes that kids can use this without teachers and we should give them this even if there not in school..” give a child a piano yeah he can make noise, but he wont be able to make music, and give a child a laptop they will be able to do the basic, but wont learn” this is what one of the guys had to say against Nicholas and honestly i totally agree, he has a good idea, but dont think his goal will be accomplished..idk…but overall  i though this was a good topic and defiantly something i could have been interduced to.
