Inside One Laptop per Child: Episode 03
by Julie Bryce
Since piloting this video series, we’ve received lots of questions about the XO’s mesh network. How can these laptops “talk” to each other even without widespread internet access? How is the network they create different from the network at your home or office? Episode 03 explains it all.

Very interesting video showing very interesting ideas!
Collaboration is an important factor on children’s education, and i love how this has been reflected on the OLPC.
I am looking forward to read the reports after these laptops will be used by children for some months.

I’m looking forward to see reports of what the kids do when they get hold of the source code and start hacking it and _really_ explore the laptops – perhaps in ways that the designers hadn’t even thought of.

The OLPC sounds awesome. It’s like Cybiko 3.0.

How could I buy an Xo computer to take to Mexico for a present

I was a First Day buyer – got my XO on the 19th- turned it on- played with it and then gave it to a young friend who was really shocked and pleased…
Came home …and sent in another $399- one more to a little kid some where else and I get one to KEEP!
What a fun, neat item!!!
Get one while you can!!!!
