F U TU R E	Vision: Computers are machines for programming interactions - any kind of interaction for any kind of programmer (teachers, artists, activists, etc.). I believe the future of computer based learning depends on two things: inventing new interaction models for learning - for example interactive narrative or games - and new tools for easily building programs based on these models.
