"Toilets before Laptops," ruminations from an OLPC expert on how we need to consider the whole ecosystem http://bit.ly/kOuotu

From today's OLPC news a TEDxIIT talk by Laura Hosman, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Illinois Institute of Technology. Drawing from her experiences on numerous One Laptop Per Child deployments, Hosman explains our short sighted ways in thinking we can solve already ill defined and misguided problem sets by pouring technology on it. I think it's a lesson worth considering especially if you're involved in delivering technology solutions to solve a problem at any level.
