Keepod: re-inventing the wheel

This BBC web site article by, amazingly a Click journalist, Click is the BBCs technology programme so they should know better, implies a technology thats been around for almost 15 years, the OS on a USB stick, is "new" and revolutionary: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27346567

I've a sense of disappointment and deja vu about this. It reminds me of MS attempts to hijack the OLPC project by pushing Windows Starter edition. This is just the same except its Googles Android OS with its apps and Play Store.

In my view the entire premise is anachronistic and patronising. Why should children anywhere be expected, or even encouraged, to use low powered laptops with simplistic interfaces? I think children should be introduced to standard laptops and computers as soon as they're able.
