Airdate: 05/17/07 MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte has a dream: one day, every child in the world will have a high-quality, low-cost laptop computer so that even the poorest among them can learn. Negroponte is now touring the world, toting these laptops with him, and children love them. In one Cambodian village without electricity, Negroponte says the children's glowing laptops illuminate their homes, as well as their minds. Lesley Stahl reports.

Very annoyed with Amazon
Amazon promoted laptop while they sent only promotional CD, wrong message with the bad service this is what all I have to say!

Not for our child
We really wanted this laptop to work--for our child, as a birthday gift, and for another child in the world, who, presumably, would need it more than ours. We received it in December and it has been a colossal flop. Hard for children and grownups (very computer-literate grownups) to navigate. The child cannot use it--she ends up in tears of frustration. The adults were looking forward to using it, even the Linux system--but no. No go. How do I return this thing? I hope there is support for the other child in the world who got this thing--we are unsupported, unhappy, and have only a cool looking green paperweight here in our home.
