An excerpt from a story about The Laptop Club, a group of kids who crafted their own laptops from construction paper.

Name: Mandy

Age: 8
How often do you use a computer? Five times a week.

What do you like to do when you’re using a computer? Play games and write stories and poems.

What will computers look like in the future? Well you see, if we had whole days to work on it, and bigger paper, I think we could make it way more detailed.

Who is better at using a computer, you or your parents? Games + me = good. Parents + trying = bad. I am better at using games and if you guys try them, you get crushed.

[ After being told this interview would be published on the internet ] “I’m going to be popular! I should make a blog button, right now.”
