One Laptop Per Child tested a bike pedal-powered version of its XO laptop in Afghanistan yesterday.
The nonprofit took the XO’s usual handcrank and connected it to a desk with bicycle pedals, to make it easier to charge the computer while using it.
While they’re at it, let’s get OLPC to attach one of these things to every computer — people might start thinking about what they put on the Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/whatever else the kids are using — if they had to take a bike ride first. But then again, probably not.
