The statement that the one laptop per child initiative was one very successful example of an attempt to end the digital divide is False.
Why was initiative a failure ?
The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) initiative was a non-profit project that aimed to provide low-cost, low-power laptops to children in developing countries.
While the initiative had some initial successes, it has been criticized for its lack of long-term impact and its failure to address the broader issues that contribute to the digital divide.
The laptops were not durable enough to withstand the rigors of everyday use in developing countries. The laptops did not have the necessary software or support to be used effectively in schools.
The initiative did not provide sufficient training and support to teachers and students on how to use the laptops.
