One Laptop Per Child (7 Years Later) Infographic

One laptop per child is aimed at providing each child with not just a laptop that is low cost, low power and connected but a rugged one for that matter as stated in their mission statement, OLPC’s mission is to empower the world’s poorest children through education. I can personally recall seven years ago when this project was launched, it seems like yesterday, One laptop per Child was built on 5 major principles:

1.  Focus on early education
2. No One gets left out
3. Connect to the internet
4. Free to grow and adapt
5. The Kids keep the laptops

Nearly seven years ago, Nicholas Negroponte unveiled his plan for a $100 laptop computer for children in developing countries. This developed into the One Laptop Per Child project, which produces low-cost laptops for developing countries. What has been accomplished since then? The interesting infographic below is from Muhammed Saleem of OnlineColleges.net, it gives you idea of what has happened since the last seven years and I hope you’ll find it interesting
