The main idea behind the 100$ laptop is to make every child no matter how deprived, familiar with computers. The machines are housed in durable rubber material include speakers and four-way controllers. Companies like Red Hat and AMD are also supporting the OLPC initiative.
OLPC was heard saying “To achieve this production run elected politicians in China, Brazil, India, Nigeria etc, we will need to put their reputations and political careers on the line and gamble millions of dollars from already over-stretched education budgets on an unproven, Beta Ver 1.0, non-standard technology being produced by an outfit with no prior track record. I don't really expect experienced politicians to do this."
