Kids Review the OLPC

Posted by kdawson on from the mouths-of-babes dept.

A. N. Onymous sends us to OLPCNews for an account of kids' reactions to the OLPC XO, and comments: "My first impression is, it's just like when you give a kid a box of Lego." The video of a 10-year-old and his younger sister replacing a mobo is pretty cool.

    Those kids didn't use proper anti-static safety protocols when replacing that motherboard! At this rate, it's going to be twenty laptops per child!

    Apparently Mitch Bradley even believes that a 10-year old could replace an XO motherboard. I don't see why not; 10-year olds have been replacing motherboards in China for years.
