 One big difference with OLPC is it was targetting the learner. Dynabook
 is for both teacher and learner.
 
-**---JR**: The OLPC was both a hardware and a software project, like yours. I can admit that the hardware part was thought for the third world schools and students (and the project continues somehow in Uruguay, not Paraguay, not quite a third world country: [Ceibal](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceibal_(Uruguay) ---reading an independent assessment would be great), but the aim of the software aspect was to create a learning environment based on python and smalltalk. Now I think you propose a more reduced environment (no Sugar, no ordinary apps) based on a modern version of smalltalk, and you say it's going to be teacher-centred, which I hope it's an inaccurate way of saying school-centred or teaching/learning-process-centred. Tell me in what I have misunderstood you.

 **---HF**: I disagree the OLPC was thought for the third world, my believe is the reality of education in the third world was not considered. The Sugar approach is based on activities, it is a very classic way of using a computer. The main idea -- or more likely ideal -- was that the learner would not need an adult and he will be able to educate himself with the XO.
