MIT Media Lab : $100 Laptop Project (HDLP)

July 19th, 2005
ADVERTISEMENTS

MIT Media Lab is launching a new research initiative to develop a $100 laptop – a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world’s children.

The $100 Laptop will be a Linux-based, full-color, full-screen laptop, which initially is achieved either by rear projecting the image on a flat screen or by using electronic ink (developed at the MIT Media Lab). It will be rugged, use innovative power (including wind-up), be WiFi- and cell phone-enabled, and have USB ports galore.

The idea is to distribute the machines through those ministries of education willing to adopt a policy of “one laptop per child.” You can expect them in the market by the end of 2006 or early 2007. Now that truly cheap laptop is affordable!
