Abstract:
The legendary Quincy Jones and Seymour Papert have graciously
appeared on camera for interviews and joined the ACM Computers in Entertainment magazines editorial board. Quincy and Seymour are two
of the nicest people to talk to and work with. Quincy talks about education as fun learning, the impact of music on children, how
technology affects the way music is created and produced, and digital distribution of music over the Internet. Seymour speaks of
learning-rich entertainment, Logo and computer programming for children, technology in schools and education, and the future of
home schooling and learning environments. The video clips of the interviews are available at
http://www.acm.org/pubs/cie/mar2004/index.html Quincy Jones, who composed more than 50 major motion picture and
television scores, has earned international acclaim as producer of the best-selling single of all time and the best-selling album in

has also received an Emmy Award, seven Oscar nominations, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Jean Hersholt
Humanitarian Award. More information can be found at http://www.quincyjonesmusic.com Seymour Papert, a mathematician and an early pioneer of
