OLPC's goals shady

I've been reading the One Laptop Per Child's independent blog, and it really seems as though this project is just a little misguided.

Negroponte (big cheese of OLPC) claims that it's all about the education, but the pieces on the OLPC blog make me question that.

In particular, this one.

But most of them point out that just releasing the laptops alone would be a travesty. And it would be. Big changes really do have to happen before it all works out.

But on a different note, if you view One Laptop Per Child as a laptop project, then it is succeeding wildly.

Oh, this confusing world...
