Professor Seymour Papert

He is considered the world's expert on how technology can be used to learn. I guess, we can all blame him for this "computers in the classroom" stuff. Professor Papert is accountable for being the first person to get computers in the hands of every student in a state (I'm guessing Maine, which is where he taught at a University).

This man is one of the original people studying artificial intelligance. Seymour Papert used mathematics to discover ways in which children could use technology to learn more in depth. He has written books and created philosophies. Professor really wants to see people exceed and take technology to the next level. He's been there with it from the beginning.
