Funny how people with the biggest dreams end up taking the most flack. OLPC was a big ambition and, like most new initiatives, was probably bound to fail initially. However, he had an idea and he did it! The great success is that future initiatives will have the opportunity to learn and improve upon it. Are there other things that need fixing around the world? Yes, but the argument that we cannot do anything grand until every single primitive human need is solved is bunk. Innovation does not need to wait for a utopia.
