Nigeria has paid for one million, $100 a piece Laptops computers designed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC), first announced by Lab co-founder Nicholas Negroponte, now chairman of OLPC, at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland in January 2005.
I have a 10 year old daughter that would absolutely love to have one of the laptops that have been created for $100. I am a single mother of 3 and cannot afford a conventional laptop. She has wanted one for Christmas for the past 3 years. I would like to know if the said laptops will ever be for sale in the U.S. and if so how could we purchase one? Katie is very intelligent and wants to be a veternarian. I feel that having a laptop will increase her chances of getting into a good school in the future. I think it is great that children in Africa will have the oppertunity for such a great tool for their education. I would like the same for my child.
