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.

    One of the older kids learned how to do it just because he wanted to.... Now, I'll admit that it is seems a useless skill....

    In the long run, possibly about as useless as writing a 386 kernel just for the fun of it.

    You mean, like some crazy Finn called Linus Torvalds did, right? Yeah that was a totally useless excercise and it really didn't get him anywhere.
