The OLPC laptop is the future of electronics

I just watched a short clip from the one of the creative people behind the super low power XO laptop. The thing only uses 2 watts, has replaceable parts, and can be powered via solar panels or a hand crank. It also has no toxic components, costs $100, and has a color LCD screen you can read in full sunlight.

What an amazing device, this is really the future of electronics.

People are trying to make a buck off of green. Green is actually cheaper. Green isn’t about (sigh) buying more stuff.
