Electronic voting or One Laptop Per Child?

General January 17th, 2008

Two talks, same date/time, only one me. Stupid conflicts. Which talk should I attend?

One Laptop Per Child: Technology and the Developing World at Spurlock

or

ITI DISTINGUISHED LECTURE: Edward W. Felten, “Electronic Voting: Danger and Opportunity” up at Beckman?

The OLPC talk gives me extra credit for my class, but I don’t really need or care about it. The voting one is more timely, but it’s just likely to make me ornery come November. Which one would you sit in?
