Negroponte

As a part of what he says is his life’s most important work, MIT Media Labs director Nicholas Negroponte is on course to deliver a $100 laptop to the people who need it most: the world’s children. …

Even scarier for companies like Microsoft will be the volume of these systems that Negroponte plans to move. By 2007, they hope to be shipping 150 million units to the world annually. That’s three times the number of notebooks that the entire industry ships today.
