I don't think that OLPC failed, it was just superseded by the smartphone and the tablet.

I can buy an 8" tablet from Aliexpress and get it shipped to me for $70, it even has a SIM slot.

In my travels through Asia, I've discovered that practically everyone has a smartphone. Most of these people have never owned a PC and never will, but they all have computers now.
