Un racconto inusuale per Archeologia Informatica per uno speciale estivo tutto da gustare sotto l'ombrellone. Di solito non ci occupiamo della storia “recente” cioè di avvenimenti dopo l'anno 2000, ma in questo caso racconteremo la storia di qualcosa che è stato probabilmente un “unicum” nella storia dell'informatica e che difficilmente potrà ripetersi.Successe infatti all'inizio di questo nuovo millennio che qualcuno si pose la domanda se si potesse migliorare il mondo in maniera fattiva, trasformare l'istruzione per i bambini di tutto il mondo; questo obiettivo doveva essere raggiunto creando e distribuendo dispositivi educativi per i paesi in via di sviluppo e creando software e contenuti per tali dispositivi.Nacque così un'iniziativa senza scopo di lucro chiamata “One Laptop per Child” (O.L.P.C.) cioè “UN COMPUTER (portatile) PER OGNI BAMBINO”, ascolteremo il racconto di questo sogno utopico che vede protagonisti tanti grandi dell'informatica a partire dal fondatore Nicholas Negroponte e grandi aziende come Google, Red Hat, Nortel Networks fino a Microsoft, direttamente dalla voce di un italiano che sin da subito ha abbracciato il progetto e lo ha seguito negli anni: Bernardo “Bernie” Innocenti.Buon Ascolto!
