Within minutes of receiving tablets without teachers, Ethiopian children taught themselves how to use 47 apps per day and hacked the Android system to enable the camera. They were soon singing ABC songs in their village and learning independently. This shows how quickly children can learn on their own with access to technology.

7. “I THOUGHT THE KIDS WOULD PLAY WITH THE BOXES. WITHIN
FOUR MINUTES, ONE KID NOT ONLY OPENED THE BOX, FOUND
THE ON-OFF SWITCH … POWERED IT UP. WITHIN FIVE DAYS,
THEY WERE USING 47 APPS PER CHILD, PER DAY. WITHIN TWO
WEEKS, THEY WERE SINGING ABC SONGS IN THE VILLAGE,
AND WITHIN FIVE MONTHS, THEY HAD HACKED ANDROID,”
NEGROPONTE SAID. “SOME IDIOT IN OUR ORGANIZATION OR IN
THE MEDIA LAB HAD DISABLED THE CAMERA, AND THEY
FIGURED OUT THE CAMERA, AND HAD HACKED ANDROID.”
