Nicholas Negroponte is BOLD, INNOVATE, AND GENEROUS. That’s why we feature him in our new book, Generation BIG – The Rising Tide of Dreams to Action.

In the book, we tell the story of how Negroponte developed his bold vision “to create educational opportunities for the world’s poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.”

We tell you about Negroponte’s remarkable innovations as he moved from dreams to action and established One Laptop per Child. And we unveil Negroponte’s generous heart that guides his quest to help children around the globe.

Negroponte represents a rising tide of BOLD, INNOVATIVE and GENEROUS people who are mastering life and giving back in extraordinary ways, despite the economic meltdown.

Economic downturns lead most people to hunker down, bemoan their fate, and wait for forces beyond their control to bring back better days. But even in a time of unprecedented economic uncertainty, it is possible, through innovation, boldness and careful planning to achieve BIG dreams.

While others ride out the economic tsunami in the storm cellar, BIG people develop bold vision, devise innovative game plans, and change the world with generous action.

OLPC's Nicholas Negroponte has the BOLD spirit, INNOVATIVE thinking, and GENEROUS heart that reflects Generation BIG
