DETAILS:
Alan Kay, of Apple Computer Inc., will be speaking in a live and
interactive broadcast over the Internet, on 12th June 1996 at 5pm British
Summer Time (= 12 noon USA Eastern Daylight Time). Don't miss this unique
opportunity to hear and speak with one of the key figures in the modern era
of personal computing.
Dr. Kay created the Smalltalk language while leading the Learning Research
Group at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s, and his
pioneering 'Dynabook' concept is widely acknowledged to be the origin of
personal computing as we know it today. As a distinguished Apple Fellow he
has continued to pursue the role of new media in the context of learning -
for children of all ages.
This is the latest in a series of events hosted by the Knowledge Media
Institute (KMi) of The Open University, UK. Previous speakers were:
Henry Lieberman (MIT Media Lab)
Borre Ludvigsen (HIO Norway)
Richard Cogger (Cornell University)
Peter Cochrane (British Telecom)
Luc Steels (Free U. Brussels & Sony Japan)
Ben Shneiderman (U. of Maryland)
Ron Baecker (U. of Toronto)
Don Norman (Apple Computer, Inc.)
Anyone is welcome to participate in the event, anywhere in the world. The
minimum hardware requirements are an Internet connection, sound and a modern
Web browser. It even works via a 14.4Kbps modem. The Stadium utilizes
RealAudio, for which further details can be obtained from the Stadium WWW
Page. So drop by, listen, look and ask Alan a question!
