One Laptop Per Child Program

I believe this program is essential to bridging the gap on digital divide. However, I believe it is important not only to help the children in Africa become more technologically advanced, but also that the poorer children in America become more technologically advanced. If the OLPC program was for America as well as Africa, I believe that the gap between our country (i.e. those who have access and know how to use computers vs those who do not) and the gap between different countries such as America and Africa will decrease. These computers would teach basic computer concepts and would allow children to see and use the Internet when they haven't had the chance to do so before. In order to bring children around the world up to speed with technology, it is necessary to have programs, such as the OLPC, that enable learning. I fully support the One Laptop Per Child program.
