Nicholas Negroponte: Bringing Computing to the Developing World: TED 2006

In the past two years, the tech community has been abuzz with discussion of the One Laptop Per Child project. At TED 2006, Nicholas Negroponte, formerly of the MIT Media Lab, explained the vision and details of the project just as it was beginning. He takes us inside the strategy for building the "$100 laptop," and explains why and how the project plans to launch "at scale," with millions of units distributed in the first seven countries. "This is not a laptop project; it's an education project," he says.
