I've been trying to reply To: NU163467@vm1.nodak.edu
but mail keeps bouncing.  I was asked what LOGO is by Marshall of the above
address.  If there are errors, please correct since I am putting together some
rather old recollections.


LOGO is a language developed to encourage children to learn the logic of
programming by programming graphics.  It originated with child psychologists
cum computer scientists (Piaget?) at MIT(?).  It was popularized on the Apple
computer in its heyday and taught to elementary age children back in the late
'70s(when my son was in that age group).  Because it made graphics easy young
children could develop graphics applications more easily than programmers with
powerful mainframes.  It actually has a lot more power than programming
graphics.  One example in the Apple manual is a guessing game which can
determine which animal the player has in mind.
