NussbaumOnDesign The End of The One Laptop Per Child Experiment--When Innovation Fails. - BusinessWeek
An interesting report on the admission of the failure of the OLPC experiment. More a problem of culture and context than innovation.

The lesson here is that however brilliant the innovation, it needs to be appropriate to the context and the culture. It needs to fit in and not be imposed. And it needs coalitions, teams, to support it. In fact, in the case of education, which is extremely politically sensitive in every country, OLPC should have developed both the design of the computer and the pedagogy with the Indian and Chinese teachers and administrators, not for them.
