Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.

Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water.

We've been working now with computers and education for 30 years, computers in developing countries for 20 years, and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road.

If you take any world problem, any issue on the planet, the solution to that problem certainly includes education. In education, the roadblock is the laptop.

My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.
