I am thankful of your response.  Because it is a response, a 
communication. If we decide that the technology provides a new 
infrastructure for communication that can be harnessed, and then deem to 
communicate only with the like-minded, similarly experienced, and the 
onboard, i.e. "peers" - seems to me we are missing most of the point.

An eResponse ;) seems to me a demonstration of the courage of your 
convictions.

And it gives me hope that you will be precise in your use of words when 
discussing the educational ideas that interest you and that you are 
working for and toward. I had been fearing an "eLearning" feel-good 
session, and its a long trip from NY for that.

If I disagree - and I well might I would at least like to have a precise 
idea of what I am disagreeing with, and why.

How does OLPC avoid communicating that it is OK to *not* understand - in 
any meaningful sense - the tools one uses, to children who can't be 
expected to understand the working of these tools in any meaningful sense?

..is an attempt to express in a sentence where my concern lies.

FWIW.
