In an area of Ethiopia where the literacy tests would average ZERO, some kids were given tablets with ZERO instructions...
And in 5 months were teaching themselves English and how to hack.
Wow.

Hasn't it been a longtime stereotype that all those phishing e-mails come from Ethiopians?

Maybe not hacking, but computer fraud is pretty big in some parts of Africa.


It made more sense in my head.

Very intriguing...the question now is, how will this affect the way we educate our own society?

"OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte"
With a name like that, you can bet he'd be the founder of the OLPC.

Tablets arent exactly high tech, they are just a big smartphone with less features, no calling and worse specs. When tablets start being regularly released with proper operating systems and good specs I will agree.

Isn't it great when children actually want to learn and put in the effort to get the most benefit? Rather than whining about having to go to lessons and schools.
