вЂњwhy is she despondent, after all, there is the lifelong kindergarten group at MIT who continue his work.вЂќ It is now time for us to step up to the plate. SeymourвЂ™s dream isnвЂ™t dead because he is, instead, he has left his work to us his devotees to continue. And the biggest of all, I realized instead of looking for others to lead, to be the custodians, to carry the torch, I realized that I could be my own superman. вЂњWho.вЂќ вЂњWHO.вЂќ And then I realized that Lorena Barba exists, she has continued on the same path that Seymour forged. The only thing that kept coming to my mind was вЂњwho will carry on the work?вЂќ вЂњWho will be true to the way Seymour saw the world?вЂќ вЂњWho will continue the great experiment that Seymour started when he brought children and computers together?вЂќ вЂњWho will be the custodian of powerful ideas?вЂќ вЂњWhoвЂќ. Something about his death made me feel an intellectual hopelessness.

Seymour died and I broke down into a complete mess. Micheal Jackson died, I mourned but didnвЂ™t cry. Until the announcement of his death this morning, I didnвЂ™t realize just how much he meant to me. SeymourвЂ™s dream isnвЂ™t dead because he is, instead, he has left his work to us his devotees to continue.ДЄ few years ago, something beyond magical happened to me, I read Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas, Seymour PapertвЂ™s seminal work on human cognition w.r.t.

In Praise of Seymour Papert, the father of AI.
