Summary

The article uses actor–network theory to understand the applied characteristics of the XO by the OLPC Project involving scale, participation of educational bureaucracies including the contradictions, the role of children and the 'free as in freedom' software community. It also identifies several social forces that would shape the direction of this technology and how to negotiate those challenges.
