A new life the OLPC project?

As reported on the BBC News site, Uruguay decided to join the OLPC. Maybe the project will still remain active...
An interesting point of view was expressed by the head of the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay : "... This is not simply the handing out of laptops or an education programme. It is a programme which seeks to reduce the gap between the digital world and the world of knowledge..." and he also thinks "...Its a culture shock scenario - many countries are simply too scared to put it into practice"

And a related interview with the 'father' of the OLPC project: 'Gaza will be the next step'
