Digital visionary: Nicholas Negroponte




Nicholas Negroponte the founder of the 100$ laptop, has done a great job since the goal is fundamental role in educational programmes for children in remote, rural, and poor regions of the world. Nicholas creates this laptop at low price for educational purposes he told in the NY times "You have to remember that what this is about is education." He tried to enable knowledge to be accessible to everyone.
But will it be effective in the developing countries? Since a large number of people in the developing countries are poorly or not educated at all, it will be difficult for them to use this laptop. It is true that it will help to connect to the world but how will they use it. Nicholas initiative is good because of the symbolic price, but it could be excellent if people in the developing countries could take advantage from it.

Poor people will benefit from this innovative concept.
What about Morocco.
