Thanks Ray,<br><br>This is definitely a great and phenomenal read! I suggest that everyone read this work, especially the comments/discussions resulting from it. I think this article raises important points and questions, that we must raise ourselves as we formulate our vision and move forward. How exactly will our vision fare against real challenges regarding logistics, politics, competitive PC market, and competing interests in the Philippines? It is assumed that the introduction of learning and technological innovation will benefit the children. But how do we make a connection or correlation between the diffusion of XO laptops and our desired outcomes?<br>
<br>This article provides important lessons/perspectives that we must sincerely take into consideration as we lead the charge in introducing such innovations to the Philippines - so READ IT!! Haha.<br><br>What do you guys think? what about you Ray?<br>
