Ordinateur One Laptop Per Child XO Laptop
2007
Numerous R&D (research and development) programmes involve access to computers, and this has led to the widely disseminated and acclaimed One Laptop per Child (OLPC). Under the aegis of the United Nations, the operation aimed at countering the digital divide began in November 2005. The computer, equipped with Linux software and a flash memory with no hard drive, runs on alternative energies: a pull-cord, a crank or a pedal. It has a waterproof, dust-tight keyboard, and is shock- and heatresistant. It was designed by Yves Béhar (Fuseproject). The educational application interface produced by Unicef was created by Lisa Strausfeld (Pentagram).
