1962 - Doug Engelbart - Augmenting our reality and in 1968 'the mother of inventions' - mouse founder! 



1968 Alan Kay - the DynaBook


1967 - Richard Brautigan 'Machines of Loving Grace' - poem - merging cybernetics with ecological 

1971 - Ivan Illich  - learning webs - 

1969 - Seymour Papert - LOGO Turtle - education has to do with engagement 



'Education should above all equip pupils with the resources with some sense of what it means to be alive' 

We have all of these things - but what are we doing with it all?

A few more books to read!!!
