| India ditches 'potentially harmful' $100 laptop plan |
India has declared it won't be buying any $100 laptops, saying it prefers to spend the money on teachers and more traditional teaching tools.The Indian government rejected proposals by the country's Planning Commission to buy the $100 hardware from Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project.
According to local newspaper Kaumudi, India's education secretary Sudeep Banerjee said the project was "pedagogically suspect" and giving the country's schoolchildren a laptop each could harm their creative thinking and analytical abilities.
