The New York Times reports:"The government of Libya reached an agreement on Tuesday with One Laptop Per Child, a nonprofit United States group developing an inexpensive, educational laptop computer, with the goal of supplying machines to all 1.2 million Libyan schoolchildren by June 2008."
I've been a fan of Nicholas Negroponte's since I started reading his column in Wired Magazine in the mid-1990s. Negroponte is the founder of the One Laptop Per Child Initiative. What I didn't realize is that United States Intelligence Director, John D. Negroponte, is his brother!
Maybe the Intelligence Director should solicit some of the advice of Nicholas' colleagues at the MIT Media Lab on how to streamline the cumbersome U.S. intelligence computer systems.
