[Nov 22, 2005] United Nations Secretary-General, Koffi Annan, and the prestigious Nicholas
Negroponte have launched in Tunis the 100 dollar laptop, which aims at
bringing over the new Information Technologies to the children in the least
'developed' countries in the world.
Google has taken part in the creation of this little green laptop by
developing a 'thin
client', an essential device for a PC that doesn't have nor a great
memory or a processor. Thanks to this 'client', the laptops (which work with
Linux) will have access to powerful softwares run by a central server while
connected to the Internet.
The objective is to produce several millions of these laptops, which will be
delivered in schools in different countries from next year on.
You've got more information about this topic in this article by
the BBC and inthis piece of
news by the prestigious MIT.
