One Ladtop per child (OLPC) is definitely not a solution:

Some had photoblogs, others played around with the Scratch tool & learnt some technical skills.
What was common for most of them?

‘Enthusiastic Teachers & care-givers who gave support & encouragement to the children to use their laptops for creation & not just for consumption.’

This brings me to my ‘Iceberg theory of EdTech.’
All the focus is on the 1/10th part which is visible: The TECH of EdTech

Il désirait en effet envoyer 4.5 gigaoctets de photos à son imprimeur. Il commence donc un transfert de données vers ce dernier via internet.

They have backed up 70 petabytes of data (= 70 000 000 Go)

Richard Hipp is the creator of Fossil too.

(Background: SQLite is the most used database in the world. Everyone uses it. It's in Windows, in Photoshop, in Firefox, in your smartphone, in your connected TV, in your fitness bracelet, it's in almost every connected object. It is used to store and organize information, and it has the advantage of being remarkably reliable, light and running on virtually all existing systems (processors, languages, operating systems ...).

All the automation in the world won’t help you if you don’t have someone around who knows what they are doing. Some people can outsource this to “the cloud”, but not everyone.

A custom DNS system into an ERP has broke up and every services of the company are now unreachable. I am surprised that a wiki or something can still be reachable....
