Comment Alan Kay is amazing (Score 2, Informative) 886
Alan Kay has been thinking about how to introduce children to computers for longer than I have been alive (and I'm not THAT young). I would have to plug Squeakland for introducing kids to the world of computing: http://www.squeakland.org/
I heard his talk entitled, "Introductions To Computing Should Be Child's Play" and he did a demo of Squeak, and it made me feel as giddy as a schoolgirl.
