RIP Seymour Papert at 88.

Seymour Papert, theorist behind One Laptop Per Child, dies at 88:

Seymour Papert, one of the creators of the Logo programming language and a significant influence behind One Laptop Per Child and Lego Mindstorms, died Sunday at home in Maine. He was 88.

I remember him and the Logo language he co-founded to teach to kids.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
