msgid "missiondescription"
msgstr "Most of the nearly two-billion children in the developing world are inadequately educated. It is time to rethink this equation. Given the resources that poor countries can reasonably allocate to education."

msgid "missionkeywords"
msgstr "OLPC, One Laptop per Child, laptop, education, poverty, children isolation, learning, schools, teachers, books, school equipment, developing world, computer, knowledge, potential."

msgid "missionh1"
msgstr "ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ"

msgid "missionp1"
msgstr "Most of the nearly two–billion children in the developing world are inadequately educated, or receive no education at all. One in three does not complete the fifth grade."

msgid "missionp2"
msgstr "The individual and societal consequences of this chronic global crisis are profound. Children are consigned to poverty and isolation—just like their parents—never knowing what the light of learning could mean in their lives. At the same time, their governments struggle to compete in a rapidly evolving, global information economy, hobbled by a vast and increasingly urban underclass that cannot support itself, much less contribute to the commonweal, because it lacks the tools to do so."

msgid "missionh2"
msgstr "ਇਹ ਹੈ ਟਾਈਮ ਸਮੀਕਰਨ ਨੂੰ ਮੁੜ ਘੋਖਣ ਦਾ।"

msgid "missionp3"
msgstr "Given the resources that developing countries can reasonably allocate to education—sometimes less than $20 per year per pupil, compared to the approximately $7500 per pupil spent annually in the U.S.—even a doubled or redoubled national commitment to traditional education, augmented by external and private funding, would not get the job done. Moreover, experience strongly suggests that an incremental increase of “more of the same”—building schools, hiring teachers, buying books and equipment—is a laudable but insufficient response to the problem of bringing true learning possibilities to the vast numbers of children in the developing world."

msgid "missionh3"
msgstr "Standing still is a reliable recipe for going backward."

msgid "missionp4"
msgstr "Any nation's most precious natural resource is its children. We believe the emerging world must leverage this resource by tapping into the children's innate capacities to learn, share, and create on their own. Our answer to that challenge is the XO laptop, a children's machine designed for “learning learning.”"

msgid "missionp5"
msgstr "XO embodies the theories of constructionism first developed by MIT Media Lab Professor Seymour Papert in the 1960s, and later elaborated upon by Alan Kay, complemented by the principles articulated by Nicholas Negroponte in his book, <i>Being Digital</i>."

msgid "missionp6"
msgstr "Extensively field-tested and validated among some of the poorest and most remote populations on earth, constructionism emphasizes what Papert calls “learning learning” as the fundamental educational experience. A computer uniquely fosters learning learning by allowing children to “think about thinking”, in ways that are otherwise impossible. Using the XO as both their window on the world, as well as a highly programmable tool for exploring it, children in emerging nations will be opened to both illimitable knowledge and to their own creative and problem-solving potential."

msgid "missionp7"
msgstr "OLPC is not, at heart, a technology program, nor is the XO a product in any conventional sense of the word. OLPC is a non-profit organization providing a means to an end—an end that sees children in even the most remote regions of the globe being given the opportunity to tap into their own potential, to be exposed to a whole world of ideas, and to contribute to a more productive and saner world community."

msgstr "The XO is Linux-based, with a dual-mode display—both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white, reflective, and sunlight-readable at three times the resolution. The laptop has a 500MHz processor and 256MB of DRAM, with 1 GB of Flash memory; it does not have a hard disk, but it does have three USB ports and an SD-card slot for expansion. The laptops have wireless broadband that, among other things, allows them to work as a mesh network; each laptop is able to talk to its nearest neighbors, creating an ad hoc, local area network. The laptops are designed to be extremely power efficient, enabling the use of innovative power systems (such as solar, hand-crank and pedal-power)."

msgstr "Why do children in developing nations need laptops?"

msgid "faqa2"
msgstr "Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window out to the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration."

msgid "faqq3"
msgstr "Why not a desktop computer, or—even better—a recycled desktop machine?"

msgid "faqa3"
msgstr "Desktops are cheaper, but mobility is important, especially with regard to taking the computer home at night. Kids in the developing world need the newest technology, especially really rugged hardware and innovative software. Recent work with schools in Maine has shown the huge value of using a laptop across all of one's studies, as well as for play. Bringing the laptop home engages the family. In one Cambodian village where we have been working, there is no electricity, thus the laptop is, among other things, the brightest light source in the home."

msgid "faqa3a"
msgstr "Finally, regarding recycled machines: if we estimate 100-million available used desktops, and each one requires only one hour of human attention to refurbish, reload, and handle, that is tens of thousands of work years. Thus, while we definitely encourage the recycling of used computers, it is not the solution for One Laptop per Child."

msgid "faqq4"
msgstr "How is it possible to get the cost so low?"

msgid "faqa4"
msgstr "First, by dramatically lowering the cost of the display. The first-generation machine will have a novel, dual-mode display that represents improvements to the LCD displays commonly found in inexpensive DVD players. These displays can be used in high-resolution black and white in bright sunlight—all at a cost of approximately $35."

msgid "faqa4a"
msgstr "Second, we take the fat out of the systems. Today's laptops have become obese. Two-thirds of their software is used to manage the other third, which mostly does the same functions nine different ways."

msgid "faqa4b"
msgstr "Third, we will market the laptops in very large numbers, directly to ministries of education, which can distribute them like textbooks."

msgid "faqq5"
msgstr "Why is it important for each child to have a computer? What's wrong with community-access centers?"

msgid "faqa5"
msgstr "One does not think of community pencils—kids have their own. They are tools to think with, sufficiently inexpensive to be used for work and play, drawing, writing, and mathematics. A computer can be the same, but far more powerful. Furthermore, there are many reasons it is important for a child to own something—like a football, doll, or book—not the least of which being that these belongings will be well-maintained through love and care."

msgid "faqq6"
msgstr "What about connectivity? Aren't telecommunications services expensive in the developing world?"

msgid "faqa6"
msgstr "When these machines pop out of the box, they will make a mesh network of their own, peer-to-peer. This is something initially developed at MIT and the Media Lab. We are also exploring ways to connect them to the backbone of the Internet at very low cost."

msgid "faqq7"
msgstr "What can a $1000 laptop do that the $100 version cannot?"

msgid "faqa7"
msgstr "The XO laptop is built for learning and designed specifically with children in mind. Because of this, the features deemed most valuable for its purposes are as good (and in many cases, better) than comparable features on a $1000 laptop. For instance, the XO’s screen can be viewed as clearly as a newspaper in broad daylight, and the wireless range of the XO is several times longer than your average laptop. It's also more rugged, resilient and power efficient than most other laptops on the market. While other features, such as power and speed, cannot compare to a $1000 machine, they meet the necessary requirements for learning."

msgid "faqq8"
msgstr "How will these be marketed?"

msgid "faqa8"
msgstr "In the general case, the laptops will be sold to governments and issued to children by schools on a basis of one laptop per child; using this model, we are beginning deployments around the world at the end of 2007. An additional allocation of machines has been used to seed the developer community. Our Give One Get One program, which runs now through December 31, and our Give Many campaign will enable a broader community of participation."

msgid "faqq9"
msgstr "When do you anticipate these laptops reaching the market? What do you see as the biggest hurdles?"

msgid "faqa9"
msgstr "Manufacturing began on 5 November 2007. The first units will ship in November 2007. "

msgid "faqa9a"
msgstr "The biggest hurdle will be manufacturing 100 million of anything. This is not just a supply-chain problem, but also a design problem. The scale is daunting, but I find myself amazed at what some companies are proposing to us. It feels as though at least half the problems are being solved by mere resolve."

msgid "faqq10"
msgstr "Who is the original design manufacturer (ODM) of the XO?"

msgid "faqa10"
msgstr "Quanta Computer Inc. of Taiwan has been chosen as the original design manufacturer (ODM) for the XO project. The decision was made after the board reviewed bids from several possible manufacturing companies."

msgid "faqa10a"
msgstr "Quanta Computer Inc. was founded in 1988 in Taiwan. With over US $10 billion in sales, Quanta is the world's largest manufacturer of laptop PCs; the company also manufactures mobile phones, LCD TVs, and servers and storage products. In addition, Quanta recently opened a new US $200 million R&amp;D center, Quanta R&amp;D Complex (QRDC), in Taiwan. The facility, which opened in Q3 of 2005, has 2.2 million square feet of floor space, and a capacity to house up to 7,000 engineers."

msgid "faqq11"
msgstr "ਇਹ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਯੋਜਨਾਬੱਧ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ?"

msgid "faqa11"
msgstr "The XO is being developed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a Delaware-based, non-profit organization created by faculty members from the MIT Media Lab to design, manufacture, and distribute laptops that are sufficiently inexpensive to provide every child in the world access to knowledge and modern forms of education. OLPC is based on constructionist theories of learning pioneered by Seymour Papert and later Alan Kay, as well as the principles expressed in Nicholas Negroponte's book <i>Being Digital</i>. The corporate members are Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Brightstar, Chi Lin, eBay, Google, Intel, Marvell, News Corporation, Nortel, Quanta, Red Hat, and SES Astra."
