5:28 AM EST 		This article is the best Christmas present I have ever had. Now my wife and I are proud that we bought two. Having lived in the Third-World we know that there will be changes to many peoples lives because of ventures like the OLPC.

Please read this article with an open mind. Even if your mind is closed, read it. When a five year old has to watch their younger siblings because the six year old has to go work in the fields with the parents you are not ever going to break the cycle of abject poverty, wasted lives and dictatorships. With the OLPC the school can be in the home. The school can be anywhere.

Here is a project that is using the OLPC: http://www.umeebee.com/
