Anyways, If it's that Obama initiative to give every student a laptop, I think it's bad. Laptops really dull your ability to learn. The time taken to write words allows them to be taken in better and learned more efficiently. Spelling will go out the window because spell check, and even right arms will begin to get fat from lack of exercise.

I used to think that's what it was meant to be. I didn't realise meat was animals back then.

Laptops shouldn't be used for school. You learn a lot better if you write things down.

The noteslate is $99, programmable and extremely energy efficient; send kids those instead?

10 years of writing things down. Taking notes on a laptop just doesn't work as well. I mean, you can write faster, but you don't absorb it as much.

The OLPC foundation hands them out to schoolchildren, the government doesn't put software on it.
And it's open source, so nothing could be hidden anyhow.
