VOICED: Rural Kenyans aim to bridge the digital divide

Kenya is advancing technologically with the introduction of XO computers, designed to be portable and educational for children. These laptops help bridge the digital divide, offering software to enhance writing skills and fun features like a camera. Globally, over a million children use XO computers, initially launched in the US as the $100 laptop, now priced at $180. In Kenya, a school received 100 XO laptops through a church donation, positively impacting students and encouraging parents to buy computers. The school plans to introduce the internet, further connecting students to the world.
