| | MIT Media Lab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The MIT Media Lab in the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology engages in education and research in the digital technology used for expression and communication. | | | Critics claims that the Media Lab engages in research that is technically simplistic and mathematically non-rigorous and criticize the Media Lab for using simplistic or previously developed algorithms or engineering techniques. | | | Created collaboratively by the Computer Museum and the Media Lab, the Computer Clubhouse, a worldwide network of after-school learning centers, focuses on youth from underserved communities who would not otherwise have access to technological tools and activities. |

| | Media Lab Asia was started in 2001, but MIT turned over management to the Indian government last year when it found itself at odds with Arun Shourie, the new Indian information minister, over the direction of its research projects. | | | The talks between representatives of MIT and the government of Ireland are focusing on four areas, the insiders said: future funding, the structure of the lab, the direction of its research, and its affiliation with European colleges and universities. | | | Like the Media Lab Asia, the Dublin lab had been conceived by Nicholas Negroponte, founder and global ambassador of MIT's Media Lab, as a way of spurring international technology research and bridging the digital divide. |

| | The Media Lab, by this yardstick, is not a computer science faculty. | | | The Media Lab is not your ordinary university computer science department, and not just because it was founded by an architect. | | | Most computer science departments in academia emerged as spin-offs of the mathematics department, and indeed the study of algorithms is the major preoccupation of most academic computer science departments. |
