Recently in One Laptop per Child, we’ve been wiping old high school laptops and installing Ubuntu on them so the people receiving them will have access to programs similar to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. The other day in class Ms. Murakami showed us how to switch the hard drives of two computers. This was so that, since there were some computers that were working but would not read the flash drive with the Ubuntu download on it, we could insert a fully functioning hard drive that would read the flash drive and allow us to download the program onto all the computers. This was my favorite part of the class so far, because I got to see the inner workings of laptops similar to those we use every day.
