A Slide Show Of Peruvian Kids Using One Laptop Per Child Computers.
This is the first time I've actually seen OLPC machines used in the real world for their intended purpose, and it's pretty amazing to see. I admit to being a bit skeptical as to how big an impact OLPC will really have -- I'm sure that these kids are amazed and have their eyes opened up to a bigger world around them, but wouldn't it be more useful for them to have, say, food? Still, seeing it in the real world gives you a visceral feeling of how powerful these things can be to change outlooks.
