With Moore's Law, you can either use the circuit density increases to buy more performance at the same price or the same performance for less costs. OLPC along with other factors forced the recognition of a whole new market. <BR/><BR/>But ultimately, OLPC could the be beginnings of something greater. 20+ years of Moore's Law has given us HW orders of magnitude faster, but our SW and user experiences have not progressed as much, not even close. I believe Negroponte when he says that today's laptops are in many ways slower than the first from 20yrs ago. Granted they do more, but how much of it b/c of legacy.ctoolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534188229872278375noreply@blogger.com
