In January 2005, at the World Economic Conference in Davos, Switzerland, Nicholas Negroponte announced the radical idea of a low-cost laptop for the developing world. From Negroponte's initial announcement to the distribution of the firstXO-1 laptops in December 2007, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) has raised a host of interesting questions about information technology, computer design, global markets, international relations, and democracy. This forum will be an interdisciplinary dialogue that will explore the implications of this far-reaching project.
