India Rejects One Laptop per Child Program

ex-geek writes "Seems like Negroponte's One Laptop per Child program has been rejected by the Ministry of Human Resource Development of India. Among the objections are concerns about the effect of extensive laptop use on children's health. Better uses for the monies, which would be required to roll out the OLPC project, are also named. Most insightful however is the observation that not one industrial country has so far implemented a similar program for its children, which casts doubt as to what the pedagogical use for notebooks in class really is."

Your ignorance is astounding:

So is your inability to read. The grandparent poster was a direct reply to this post which contains the words 'north korea' and no others. You can post as much as you like about your knowledge of India's missile program, flaming someone else in the process, but it still won't have any relevance to North Korea.
