[OLPC Bolivia] [IAEP] Plan Ceibal y/and General Electric

[Alan Kay]

GE is being congratulated for recognizing that the iPhone and iPad are pretty 
good ideas and technological realizations. But isn't this like the 
congratulations Bill Gates got for finally recognizing the Internet (about 25 
years after it had started working)?

Seems as though Apple had a lot more on the ball than Bill Gates or GE here 
(they used to do computing in the 60s, but couldn't see what it was).

And most of the ideas at Apple (and for personal computing and the Internet) 
came from research funding that no company or government has been willing to do 
since 1982.

Cheers,

Alan
