Professor Seymour Papert seems to be a computer genius. Papert invented a new programming language called LOGO along with many other computer accomplishments at MIT. According to papert.org, Papert is also cofounder of the Artificial Intelligence Lab and one of the founding fathers of the MIT Media Lab. Papert is a huge advocate for children and technology. He focuses strongly on technology for children on the MaMaMedia board.
It seems like Papert's latest endeavour is the MaMaMedia program. He is seriously backing this website for parents and children to better understand the computer. With channels titles ROMP, ZAP, SURPRISE, and E-HUGS you can send cards and have interactive computer time with your children. This seems like a very educational website for parents and children alike.http://www.papert.org

Your information on Papert was great! I think he was well before his time in his earlier thinking.
