Thanks to share the article.

Alan Kay thought can be hard to follow, especially considering, in one 
hand, his main foci are education, educating, authoring media, and in 
the other hand, his audience is mainly in the computer field without 
much notion about education & al.

His main vision, about computerized authoring tool to enlighten the mind 
is a strong and exciting assertion. In this vision, the users will build 
their own model to explore a given concept. Etoys was really what came 
close to this idea, with medias you can interconnect to build 
simulation, model, etc. It let you build these things more easily than 
any programming tool. However I am wondering if even talented young 
students or teachers can really embrace it. I know talented teachers and 
I doubt they could do it with Etoys. May be Etoys was just itching the 
surface of this vision.

 Interesting (although I found slightly rambling) interview with Alan 
 Kay about personal computing. But Smalltalk does get a link.
