The One Laptop Per Child project (OLPC) is working hard to bridge the digital divide and this video walks you through the OLPCÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s user interface. The laptop runs on Linux, with simplified menus and navigation. The desktop uses universal icons and is void of dropdown text menus. The OLPC XO-1 comes with Firefox for web browsing, a chat client, RSS reader, word processor and eToys, a multilingual pack of board games and art tools.
