Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says the future of TT lies in the laptop computers being provided to Form One students in secondary schools. She made this comment when she addressed a laptop distribution ceremony at Penal Secondary School on November 27.

She recalled TT's first prime minister Dr Eric Williams saying the nation's future was in the bookbags of students. "I say to you, the future of our country is in the laptops in the bookbags."

Persad-Bissessar recalled her early experiences with computers when they were huge mainframes.
