Videos Of XOs In Use

Well I’ve ordered my XOs, and I’m looking forward to getting an idea of their capabilities. Meanwhile, I noticed several interesting videos from BBC demonstrating these laptops in use.

The second video “The XO in Nigeria” was particularly interesting, and alludes to some of the common concerns of this project. In any case, it’s surreal seeing these laptops within the context. I don’t think anyone can predict the outcome of this education project.

    Hey Alec, I remember a while back on Canada AM they did a segment on this and I thought it was interesting. I found a link to a blog relating to that segment, http://krisabel.ctv.ca/blog/_archives/2007/10/22/3307106.html
