ABCs to Hacking in 5 months

Such an inspiring article from Gizmodo regarding the "One laptop per child" Motorola sponsored charity giving away free Xoom tablets. Gizmodo reported on an interesting finding that Nicholas Negroponte discussed at the MIT Technology Review's EmTech conference.

“We left the boxes in the village. Closed. Taped shut. No instruction, no human being. I thought, the kids will play with the boxes! Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, but found the on/off switch. He’d never seen an on/off switch. He powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs [in English] in the village. And within five months, they had hacked Android. Some idiot in our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera! And they figured out it had a camera, and they hacked Android.”

I need to work on a religion revolving around the importance of technology, we would all be geniuses instead of developing insomnia as a children with the insane idea that an old mannish wizard is watching us in our sleep.
