One Laptop Per Child at last a human computer interface?

Friends

Pentagram has some first ideas about how the user interface of the laptop in "One Laptop Per Child" will work.

Neighborhood

Four views:

• Home: where you "set preferences like color"
• Friends: where you "chat with their friends"
• Neighborhood: where you "locate other users and gather around an activity"
• Activity: where you "focus on a project at hand"

Activity

Apart from the ghastly mistake of making "Home" a place to tinker with the machine, surely a hangover from machine focused OSs, this is great! An interface that is human-oriented first, and then task-oriented, how much better than Windows, Mac, name your poison...
