computer education initiatives in each country: Seymour Papert in the United States,

Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber in France, and Andrei Ershov in the Soviet Union.

individual human's ways of thinking and being-as a cognitive enhancement in the

United States, as a culture in France, and as a partner in the Soviet Union. The resulting

human-computer hybrids all demanded what I call a playful relationship to the personal

computer, that is, a domain of free and unstructured, exploratory creativity. I trace the

pioneers to their embedding in particular hardware, software, and educational curricula,
