[Trisquel-users] Keepod: re-inventing the wheel

[danieldelahoyde]

This BBC web site article by, amazingly a Click journalist, Click is the BBCs  
technology programme so they should know better, implies a technology thats  
been around for almost 15 years, the OS on a USB stick, is "new" and  
revolutionary: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27346567

I've a sense of disappointment and deja vu about this. It reminds me of MS  
attempts to hijack the OLPC project by pushing Windows Starter edition. This  
is just the same except its Googles Android OS with its apps and Play Store.

In my view the entire premise is anachronistic and patronising. Why should  
children anywhere be expected, or even encouraged, to use low powered laptops  
with simplistic interfaces? I think children should be introduced to standard  
laptops and computers as soon as they're able.
