From: gcj%qmc-ori.uucp@cs.ucl.ac.uk From Vol 4 # 26:- "The idea is to get kids to be more thoughtful about thinking by getting them to try to think about how animals think, and by taking the results of these comtemplations and actually building animal-like creatures that work." Alan Kay. From Vol 3 # ??:- Date: Tue, 12 Mar 85 "Just as man had to study birds, and was able to derive the underlying mechanism of flight, and then adapt it to the tools and materials at hand, man must currently study the only animal that thinks in order to derive the underlying principles there also." Frank Ritter I am struck by two (or more?) very different uses of the word "think"! Gordon Joly ARPA: gcj%qmc-ori@ucl-cs.arpa UUCP: ...mcvax!ukc!kcl-cs!qmc-ori!gcj
