Nicholas Negroponte from the One Laptop Per Child project recently said:
"In fact, one of the saddest but most common conditions in elementary school computer labs (when they exist in the developing world), is the children are being trained to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint," Negroponte wrote in an e-mail interview. "I consider that criminal, because children should be making things, communicating, exploring, sharing, not running office automation tools."
We couldn't agree more. However, it is not just the "developing" world! See the whole article here.
