The document discusses Uruguay's Plan Ceibal program which provides every child aged 6 to 11 with an OLPC XO laptop computer to use at school and home. It notes that for the program to be truly effective, there needs to be active participation in developing a culture of using and sharing knowledge online, as well as avoiding "black boxes" and commercial interests by making direct contributions. Looking ahead, it envisions the program enhancing lifelong learning, redefining the roles of teachers, families, and society through participation and cultural change over time.
