OLPG

Innovation should focus on people’s need and daily life.
This article is about personal experience of writer, Bruce Nussbaum. He visited two old folks recently, and there are some idea pop up form his head – the OLPG (One Laptop Per Grannie). It is a laptop for elderly people, touch screen, music form 30s~40s and medical care program. Maybe this concept isn't initiative and no economic benefits, but it help people indeed. I think designer should think more about this.
Moreover,
Jive – the reality of this concept.
OLPC – laptop with the same idea, but for the students in the third world.
