Did You Know?

I just finished watching the Did You Know Movie . I would reccomend that everyone watch this short movie because it is full of a lot of intersting information. Being in such a technologically advanced country, I think we sometimes take for granted how lucky we are to have all of this technology. Without it, I think almost everyone would be lost. It was crazy to me to think that so many children in other countries never make it past the fifth grade, but at the same time, China has 3.3 million college graduates every year!

I loved the idea of the One Laptop Per Child Project. If one in three children in developing countries are not getting anywhere near the education they need, I think this would be a great help. This project started in 2005 and I am very interested to look it up and see what is happening with it today. If you would like to look up more information on the One Laptop Per Child Project like I did, you can go to this website: OLPC
