At the core of Alan Kay's mission to re-imagine the computing experience was a concept he learned from Seymour Papert who was a pioneer in exploring, what he called, the Human-computer symbiosis - a term coined by J. C. R. Licklider 
Symbiosis: >interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.
That is, that the computer could be something more than an tool for analysis. It could be a tool for learning - through a discover process between humans and computers.
What Kay discovered, with his Learning Research Group at PARC, was that the computer could become a powerful catalyst for human creativity. Very quickly, the team discovered that the Alto computer they were designing could do much more than be a business tool, which was the original mandate, but be something that could be used for creative expression that could utilized by people in all fields.
This concept was revolutionary and laid the foundation for our creative economy, one where they is Deeper Learning guided by our Curiosity.
