English Speaking Expat Meeting... Bringing New Friends Together Weekly for Over 4 Years Fellini Ristobaretto, Montevideo: Sunday, August 1, 2010 UPDATE!! Updated meeting time: NOON
This month will see Uruguay's Plan CEIBAL extend in to its final phase as 20,000 laptops are distributed throughout Montevideo.
The plan to give every school-attending child a laptop was once considered idealistic but Uruguay may be one of the first countries to complete this project.
These child proof notebooks come with an integrated webcam, linux operating system, wireless internet connection and a specially designed crack-proof casing.
The goal is to have 6,000 laptops delivered this week alone, 20,000 this month, and 400,000 before the end of 2009.
Thinking about making a comment on this blog post? Great! But please remember that this space is for just that, comments about this blog post. It is not a place to post random thoughts about other stuff. We found that most of the "comments" posted here are not comments at all and should have really been posted in our forum. So:
This is an open forum. All listings are the responsiblity of the posters; keep in mind, anyone can post anything!
For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 5576
