"Dynamicland is a computer where people literally work together, face-to-face, with eye contact and many hands. It's as multiplayer as the real world.
Dynamicland is an authoring environment, and everyone is an author.
People make what they need. They learn through immersion.
The true power of the dynamic medium — programmability — is for everyone."
