100 Dollar Laptop
United Nations Secretary-General, Koffi Annan, and the prestigious Nicholas Negroponte have launched in Tunis the 100 dollar laptop, which aims at bringing over the new Information Technologies to the children in the least ‘developed’ countries in the world. Google has taken part in the creation of this little green laptop by developing a ‘thin client’, an essential device for a PC that doesn’t have nor a great memory or a processor. Thanks to this ‘client’, the laptops (which work with Linux) will have access to powerful softwares run by a central server while connected to the Internet. The objective is to produce several millions of these laptops, which will be delivered in schools in different countries from next year on. via google-blog.dirson.com/post.new/0303/
