[Yr7-10it] alan kay notes and quotes

[ken price]

There are some classic quotes and ideas there Bill. Thanks for compiling
them.

If only this sort of  vision could be magically transferred to all
educational leaders.

I especially like the two quotes on how to predict the future: invent it, or
prevent it.

Some recent discussions suggest that that different people have different
views on which is the best approach...

Cheers,
kp
