Murli: "But that does not always translate into ideas and actions that 'succeed'."
I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to talk to the Minister for Culture for Brazil, Gilberto Gil, about the OPLC. He described how a pilot classroom was seeded with the XO and how that injection of technology in to the community went as far as involving the often illiterate parents in to their child's education. He was not able to give a clear answer to the larger issues of product lifecycle/recycling. But on the whole he was hugely positive about the initiative based on the findings from the pilot scheme.
