Quoted: TED Talks <p><a href="/index.php/speakers/view/id/38" target="_blank">Nicholas Negroponte</a> lays out the details of his nonprofit One Laptop Per Child project. Speaking just days after relinquishing his post as director of the MIT Media Lab, he announces that he'll pursue this venture for the rest of his life. He takes us inside the strategy for building the "$100 laptop," and explains why and how the project plans to launch "at scale," with millions of units distributed in the first seven countries. "This is not a laptop project; it's an education project," he says.</p><p><strong>Contact <a href="http://laptop.org/en/contact.shtml" target="_blank">One Laptop Per Child >></a> <br /></strong></p>
