One Laptop Per Child -- Indiana kids should have them
Indiana will become dangerously irrelevant if our kids are not tech savvy. $150 per student would be the best investment in Indiana's future-- hands down!

More than anything I want to get the technology into our kids hands-- I don't care about the Brand name on the hardware. When my daughter enters the workforce--n less than ten years-- there will be over three billion Internet users around the world.- via laptops and cell phones.
We are in the midst of a paradigm shift from the industrial age to the information age. If we don't teach our kids how to compete and thrive in a globally networked community, we are sending them out into the workforce with their hands tied behind their backs.
