	The Children's Machine by Seymour Papert
		According to Papert, we are entering the "age of learning" during which time the "competitive ability is the ability to learn".
		Writings on the theme of educational reform are abundant and Papert is not the first to link computer use with educational reform.
		What makes Papert's perspective unique and valuable however, is his insistence on focusing on epistemology and on a theory of learning as the starting point for educational reform.

		Papert is probably best known as a guiding force in the invention in the mid-1960s of Logo, a computer language that children come to learn by establishing a relationship of control over what he calls an "object-to-think-with" in the shape of a turtle.
		Papert's goal is to resist, whenever and however possible, the tendency toward "functional opacity" that makes us mere operators, rather than active explorers, of our technology and deprives us of a crucial learning experience: watching our brains work on figuring out how other things work.
		Papert believes that working with computers can help grownups question their (hierarchical) assumption that their way of thinking is superior.
