> Negroponte also defends taking the money > his privilege as a “rich white man” Negroponte also goes around demanding people refer to him as the father of the netbook.

Media Lab Asia was a disaster. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/71fe/5e987a89dfb7a6e7dbb3dd152ef6959d1ecd.pdf https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/71fe/5e987a89dfb7a6e7dbb3dd... OLPC was an unmitigated disaster, not just for Negroponte but also for the world. The level of wastage of money at all levels. Just incredible.
