- The main argument by Papert makes in Mindstorms is that children learn from the environment around them and that the difference in their capabilities in various subjects can be attributed to the richness of features in those environments. - For example when Papert puts children through math rich environments like the Logo programming language he finds that they are easily able to grasp even complex topics like Calculus. --- this book is an argument that in many important cases this developmental difference can be attributed to our culture’s relative poverty in materials from which the apparently “more advanced” intellectual structures can be built. - Seymour Papert in [[Mindstorms]]
