I think the OLPC is misunderstood. It is not a question of having water or a computer. These computers are only distributed to certain countries in which kids are fairly well trained on how to use them. However, upon doing research I found that they previously have had problems with punctual shipping to those who chose to buy an OLPC. I think it is good to have kids thinking in different ways, whether it be by an OLPC or not. I think the OLPC should focus more on how to create programs within it that can apply or help someone learn within their own country, but it is a good attempt. The OLPC in class seemed a little hard to navigate and it didn't seem like learning could be continued for years with the simple applications it provided.
