274 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 guessing 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."

289 msgstr "XO embodies the theories of constructionism first developed by MIT Media
Lab Professor Seymour Papert in the 1960s, and later elaborated upon by

292 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."
