The laptop brings back a more seamless kind of learning.

Very often kids don't ask questions in class because they don't want to be seen asking a question.

Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.

When things are digital, they're all 1's and zero's, and so they commingle in ways we didn't anticipate and you could do things that were not like publishing or television, or computers, but were some intersection of those and that got known to be convergence, so between the switching, or trading of places and the convergence, you have today's media.

There is a belief that children drop out of school because they're needed by their families to work, or the little girls are needed to take care of younger siblings. It turns out that's not really true.

My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.

If you take any world problem, any issue on the planet, the solution to that problem certainly includes education. In education, the roadblock is the laptop.
