They learn more about computers by using them. That was, I thought, the point. This whole "teach math, science, history, literature, etc. -- but better because COMPUTERS" crap was always overblown, in my opinion. I supported OLPC because I never thought it was about that. It was about bringing technology to children around the world and seeing what they could do with it. Maybe they had to shift their focus to get governments and teachers on board?
