Nicholas Negroponte
  • 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.
